The 17-0 boxer spoke to SkySports on YouTube and demanded respect. “Put credit on my name. Not, ‘Oh, he was tailor made for Conor’. When I knocked Koivula out, people were writing me off again. What happened then? You know, so people will always doubt me. People will always question my ability. I will just continue to keep proving.”
This comment showed that Benn believes he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Moreover, it showed his confidence that his performance in the past has backed up his claims. However, he also confirmed that the doubt doesn’t bother him. And he will continue to do his best to shut down critics.

The undefeated Englishman has another opportunity to prove his worth. Samuel Vargas is a tough competitor and has challenged the likes of Errol Spence Jr. and Danny Garcia. So will beating Vargas be enough to shut down the critics?
Unfortunately for Benn, Vargas comes into the fight with three losses from his last five fights. Therefore, if Benn beats Vargas, critics will point towards the downturn in the Columbian’s career and discredit the Englishman.

However, if Benn can get an early knockout, it would be a massive statement. Vergil Ortiz Jr. knocked out Vargas in the seventh round. Therefore, if Benn gets an early knockout, it would serve as a good comparison to Ortiz Jr.
If he can get the victory before the highly rated Ortiz Jr., it would be a massive statement for the young welterweight. Maybe it could even set up an exciting bout against Ortiz Jr.
