    Hope Conor Benn still wants to fight.....Should be easy to make now as Benn is a global superstar so it will sell well in America he also wont need a BBBoC licence.
    My guess will be he will never mention Boots again, and continue to call out Kell Brook and other retired guys that are inactive.

    You don’t think Conor knew this news last week when he posted it? He’s all in for the fight if licensed

    Licensed where? I assume it's waiting on outcome with the BBBoC and knock-on to other licensing bodies before he can commit to anything?

    Hopefully Hearn has promised to feed him Benn first

    Connor Benn will be waiting another couple of years before challenging a genuine Egg - Sam Eggington

    Benn can still fight in casino’s and school halls in USA with his dodgy licence.

    If he is willing to be the B side then I am sure Eddie could make the Boots Ennis fight.

    It would be better than fighting another taxi driver for chump change in a casino lounge in Orlando or LA.

    Benn is going to need a lot of eggs and probably even get pregnant in order to feel ready for the Boots Ennis fight.

    Maybe Hearn has finally had enough of the whole Benn saga and is ready to throw him to the wolves. Now Ennis is hardly a household name and this isn't the big money spinner Hearn would have hoped for to make up for the Eubank Jr fight, but maybe it's the best he can do given the corner he's backed himself into with his terrible handling of this whole thing.

    He can fight on any other commission's licence because the BBBoC hadn't banned him; he simply gave that licence up. If the BBBoC bans him from applying for one then most other mainstream commissions would respect that and withdraw their support. I mean he could get the PBA to put a fight on but that's his credibility done, who's going to fight him under that?
