Conor and Nigel Benn sends rivals a fresh warning
As Conor Benn waits to see who he might be fighting next, he has shared a new training clip of him in fearsome form.
Been has had a mixed start to the year. He had only his second fight within two years in February when he debuted in Las Vegas against Peter Dobson and went the full 12 rounds for the first time in his career. He won on points but fans noted he seemed to lack the power or ambition he once carried.
After that, he started calling out opponents he would like to take on next and for a while was in negotiations with Gervonta Davis, however that broke down when the American revealed he was less than happy with the final offer of $10 million from Eddie Hearn.
It also emerged over the weekend that another of the men he named – Jarron ‘Boots’ Ennis – was not interested in the fight because Benn offered nothing much in terms of reward.
The unbeaten ‘Destroyer’ is of course also waiting to hear the final outcome of an appeal to the British Boxing Board of Control which relates to the fact he doesn’t currently have a license to fight in the UK following two failed drug tests back in October 2022.
Now his father, legendary fighter and former world champion Nigel Benn, has shared a video on X of him taking his son on the pads and landing some monstrous overhand rights with words for any potential opponents.
“Anyone can get it.”

Someone in the frame and who has not yet ruled himself out is former welterweight ruler Danny Garcia, although Nigel Benn has named three other potential names.
