Conor Benn Eyes Fight With Danny Garcia Or Mikey Garcia If Broner Fight Doesn’t Happen

Conor Benn has a couple of names in mind for his next fight.

Benn is coming off a highlight-reel fourth-round knockout of former WBO junior welterweight champ Chris Algieri on Saturday. He has been vocal about wanting to fight Adrien Broner next and he still wants that. If he doesn’t get Broner, he wants either Danny Garcia or Mikey Garcia.

“Money talks at the end of the day,” Benn said (via Boxingscene). “So, I’ve heard Eddie Hearn is trying to make [the Broner fight] happen for the early part of next year. If that doesn’t happen, you’ve got the likes of Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, who I’d love to share the ring with. I’d like another top American. Ultimately, I leave it with my promoter and my team. I’d like the [Yordenis] Ugas fight. I know Ugas is fighting his mandatory, so I know he’s got a tough fight there. … But if they offered me that fight tomorrow, I’d take it as well.”

Conor Benn is currently 20-0 and is listed fifth among welterweight contenders ranked by the WBA and WBC. Yet, that will likely change after his win and he has made it clear he wants to face a big name next.

“I wasn’t surprised because I know how I’ve been feeling and how I’ve been looking in the gym,” Benn said. “But, you know, I was glad I made a statement with that knockout. It was similar to the [Samuel] Vargas knockout. … It’s not about the opponents. It’s how I beat them. It’s how I look beating them that’s important to me in comparison to the former world champions that [Algieri has] fought, like Khan, Spence, Pacquiao, and [Adrian] Granados with Robert Easter, Broner, Danny Garcia. Samuel Vargas with Vergil Ortiz, Amir Khan. So, when we do them comparisons – Sebastian Formella with Shawn Porter – beating them more convincingly than these guys, that’s the plan.”
