It would be a real freak show, but the idea of a potential future fight must have crossed the promoters minds. Neither of these guys are likely to get any further then British level, so depending how things pan out for the 2 of the next few years it could turn out to br built into a real possibility and a sort of Payday/cash out beyond there actual abilities.
Conor Benn is going to go a lot further than Harley will. Harley has a LOT of work to do, to even get up to the level that Conor is at right now. Conor will also only improve, he definitely has talent. It would definitely be an interesting fight, just for the brother angle. Harley would be best advised to get some serious training and sparring in for the next 2 years and gradually build his level of competition, because he has so much to learn.
Conor Benn won 20 of 22 amateur fights that he had in Australia , in terms of boxing ability of course he is ahead of Harley but there both 20 plenty of time for each, I guess it all depends on how they progress and how much they want it, who knows one of them could be chinny the other could have a granite chin.
although against low ability opposition, watch Benns fight vs the Keler geeza think it was in Scotland 2nd fight, not saying the later is a power hitter but he happily took shots the whole fight, seems brave enough and confident regarding his chin. Abit like Pigford vs Morgan.
Won't happen and it would be a freak show. If they want to settle any differences, lock the gym up and sort it out behind closed doors. Keep family differences in house.
Until either of them are in interesting or competitive matches then I honestly couldn't give a ****. Harley, for what it's worth, looked pretty dire last time out
Out of the two Conor has more potential, I don't see any noticeable talent when I watch Harley fight. The guy he fought agaisnt on Friday night looked like he put on a pair of gloves for the first time yet still managed to win 1 or 2 rounds against Harley.
Think your being a bit harsh on Harley considering he has had only one fight before this one and as far as I know no or very little amateur fights. I thought his jab looked decent and his footwork was quite fast in and out of range, he boxed good n spells. And that right hand is something terrible look out Conor !
Id agree the kid moves very well reminiscent of his pater. At the level hes been exposed to good power ,combos,speed and a few neat footwork moves.id like to see more head movement....but if developed steadily not rushed i also think he coukd challenge for a world titke.....harley looks a total novice...but the one who has more toughness and will to win...he seems a very likeable and nice kid whose had it tough but has morals...he has had zero support,amateur wise,physique wise....but again if developed slowly steadily with nutritiinists and his dad teaching him ...he could very unlikely as it seems right now go further
It shouldn't happen and I certain it won't happen, Nigel wouldn't have it, if there is a problem I'm sure it will be sorted out behind closed doors.
My understanding is that the brothers hardly even know each other, let alone hate one and another. Nigel left Harley and his mother when he was just a baby and never had any relationship with him until recently when he reached out to help him with his boxing career.
