Published 04/01/2021, 6:00 PM EDT

Conor Benn ranks among the finest upcoming welterweight prospects. The young gun has crushed all his opponents to the pulp, thus looking to make a statement in the world of boxing. Furthermore, he wants to touch gloves with two veteran pugilists from the UK to solidify his spot in the boxing world.

In his fresh statement, he said, “I want a big domestic fight still. Someone that I can take that experience off. The Amir Khans, the Kell Brooks. The Amir Khan fight would be one hell of a fight. Khan was a fighter I looked up to and so was Brook. Why not put me in with one of them after Vargas?”
