“Need This Type of Power”: Conor Benn Sends Open Challenge to Fellow Boxers in Recent Training Clip; Fans Hyped Up
Follow Us
Conor Benn is a fighter of gumption. With powerful punches and calculated moves in the ring, he’s good at all. Anyone who dares to square off against him must take this new video on his social media as a warning.
Lately, the fighter has been embroiled in a back-and-forth with lightweight, Gervonta Davis. He harbored a strong desire to face ‘Tank,’ who hasn’t entered the ring since last April. However, an offer from his promoter, Eddie Hearn was declined by Davis. While Benn asked Tank to send in a counteroffer, a video from the ‘Destroyer’ suggests that he’s ready for the fight, if it were to happen now.

Earlier this month, ‘The Destroyer’ took on his Bronx-based opponent, Peter Dobson. Winning on points, the Essex-based fighter furthered his undefeated record to 23-0. In the wake of it, on the precipice of big success, he voiced his wish to fight the WBA (Regular) lightweight titlist, Davis. Now, just days after his last fight, Benn is back in the gym, in all his sharpness.
On his Instagram, the 27-year-old uploaded a video of him engrossed in a training session. The significantly shorter video had not much to it, but a simple declaration of his power.

Decked in his workout clothes, gloves tightened, the fighter took a lethal swipe at the pad. His grunt in the video embodied the power his punch had packed. In the captions, nudging any fighter who would want to face off against him, Benn put forth the challenge: “Anyone Can get it next!”

From what Eddie Hearn had to suggest, Gervonta Davis is perhaps not the next fight Benn may get. With no opponents currently in line, and Benn still walking his way back to the ring after a hiatus, the fighter needs to be careful in choosing his next opponent.
“Hurry up!”
However, fans remain impatient. One wrote, “Hurry up and fight in the UK again as this is getting ridiculous now.” To that fan, the Destroyer responded, “I couldn’t agree more! God willing the next.”
Intimidated by the lethal punch, a user imagined their state if they were on the receiving end of it. They wrote, “I wouldn’t want to be infront of that punch.”

Another user suggested that no fighter would dare to take Benn’s challenge, just like how Davis hadn’t. They stated, “Like GD not even if you paid me 15m.”
Another user just wanted this level of power. They said, “Too much sauce I need this type of power.”
Finally, a fan contented that they would rather stand on the sidelines than face the punch. They wrote, “Nah, il just watch from the sidelines thanks.”
