    Connor Benn confirms that there are talks of this fight for the WBC belt. He has also stated he would choose this fight over Eubank.

    What do you good people think about this fight?

    Now Benn's power has mysteriously disappeared I would back Barrios to do an Ugas type job on him.

    Other than Benn having done nothing whatsoever to earn a shot it's actually a good fight

    Barrios will win this one, Benn hasn’t been taking training seriously, he was recently spotted in Benidorm on a Hen doo.

    Can't see this being a legit option for him.
    Probably the tried and tested trick of throwing out decent names then fighting Eubank or a random bum

    Wasn't drinking though as he's pregnant.

    Yep, I would be eggstatic about it.

    But unless Hearn is well and truly done with Eggman and looking to get a clean exit from him...then I do not see this happening.

    Barrios is legitimately the favourite here to comprehensively outbox and outpoint Eggman. Especially an Eggman whose power has mysteriously spectacularly deserted him.

    I had no interest in Benn before the drug saga, and still have no interest in him now. The sooner he and Eubank **** off the better.

    This is hot air from Connor, but for arguments sake it wasn't, he gets beat. If boxing wasn't a business, he should at least have to come through somebody like Eko Essuman to get a shot like that.

    This is the fight they tease before they announce Jamie McDonnell.

    It is always Hearn’s way.

    Next up for Benn is either Ennis, Crawford, *insert name of bum*, or Canelo

    Always is then the bum he fights
