    Plenty of trash talk going on between them on Twitter

    I’d prefer to see kelly in with avanysan but I guess this fight sells

    Feel sorry for Benn though as he’ll get stopped or pulled out imo

    Connor gets beat up here
    But ill be cheering the fecker on as i find him to be entertaining and to have a set of balls
    Kelly is an obnoxious sod and unfortunately the much better boxer

    I would watch that for the entertainment value alone.
    Total mismatch of course, but still.

    Kelly still doesn't want that Ava work I see. I'm cool with this fight. Kelly schools him but if you have a look at Benn's twitter you'll see plenty of examples as to why the odds on this will be close. Free money, fellas.

    Benn makes a good point on twitter saying that Kelly pulling out of the Avanesyan fight and not wanting the Robinson rematch says a lot about him as a character.. Kelly is levels above him but would make an entertaining enough scrap IMO

    Not really, kelly obviously cut corners making weight for the David A fight and was dead at the weight so them pulling him out made sense and nobody will ever look good against Robinson so why bother with the rematch

    Why hopefully the fight gets made?

    Do you dislike him and want to see him get beaten up?

    Josh Kelly is extremely annoying to watch. He thinks he’s Naz, but he’s got zero punch power and very little snap.

    After all the showboating, I was actually cheering for Robinson to lay him out on the AJ undercard.

    Having said that, there is a massive skill gap and he will more than likely make Benn look silly and possibly stop him late on.

    Kelly’s over rated but Benn isn’t even a boxer

    Yep. Benn showed what he's made of in taking the Peynaud rematch which could have ended up in embarrassment and he showed pure balls in his last fight against a solid opponent.

    Meanwhile Kelly pulled out against Avanesyan after Booth initially tried to reduce the number of rounds and also won't dare go near Robinson again.

    Sure there's a massive skill gap between the two but there also seems to be a massive heart gap too.

    Its a closer fight than some are making out in my eyes. I wouldn't back Benn but I also don't think Kelly has the power to trouble Benn or beat him up as some are saying. Benn will have to sit on his chest and throw from everywhere.

    If the going got tough you would have to favour Benn's set of balls over Kelly's.

    Why isn't he?
    Because he may never win a World title?
    Or even a European strap?

    Benn is what he is
    An entertaining boxer who has been given a huge gift due his family name

    Kids got stones and he has grown on me
    Id prefer him on PPV undercards rather than Allen or Okolie all day
