    Is he injured? Would have thought Eddie would put him out at Wembley etc. Guessing we'll see him next on Dillian Whyte's undercard at the O2. He had that little controversy when he made fun of Robin Deakin's disability.

    I couldn't care less he is a scumbag taking the **** out of someone with a disability.

    I can't wait to see the day he gets knocked out.

    Not really sold on Benn tbh, still got loads to work on & I suppose it is early doors for him at this stage of his career

    But I've seen nothing out of him to suggest he is one to watch or anything like that, another case of father was a cracking fighter & son leaves alot to be desired

    I was thinking the same.. He put on social media camp starting and Hearn said something about a summer return.

    The Deakin situation was horrible imo, there's trash talk to create a buzz around a fight and then there's taking it too far!

    Probably helping old ladies cross the road or working in a homeless shelter, he seems that type of guy.

    There was an interview somewhere where he said he needed to take time out to polish his boxing skills, which looking at first few fights is a very good idea.

    He had a few niggles but Hearn told him to go away and study/train hard which I think is wise.

    I've heard that the grave robbers haven't managed to dig up another corpse to feed him.

    Why has Cutthroatfade been banned? He doesn't deserve that.

    without the name, we wouldn't even be hearing about him for another 10-15 fights. He would be fighting in front on tiny crowds like everyone else at the start of their career

    I don't get the silly negative petty knocking of Conor Benn?
    What's it all about? I don't get it. If anything I'd have expected ye Brits to do what he normally do ...completely over rate him? But no ....bizarre!
