- Conor Benn wants to get an immediate revenge match with Chris Eubank Jr
- He also revealed who he would then like to fight if it was not Eubank Jr
Conor Benn revealed who he would like to fight then if he does not get an immediate revenge match with Chris Eubank Jr.
Benn suffered the first defeat of his professional career in an epic fight with Eubank Jr last month when he lost points against his bitter rival in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in front of 67,000 fans.
A revenge match seems to be the next logical movement, but there has been a certain uncertainty as for whether a weight can be agreed which will suit the two fighters.
EUBANK JR failed to reach the average weight limit of 160 LB for his first fight, while Benn also jumped two divisions after having contributed to the majority of his career at Welterweight.
Benn thinks that revenge Eubank Jr must then occur or that he will return to 147 pounds. If he goes down in Welter weight, Benn named Devin Haney as a fighter he would like to face, while also aiming for an American superstar.
“If I don’t do Eubank afterwards, then this ship sailed,” said Benn during the program Ariel X Ade. “It must be Eubank afterwards.

Benn was beaten by Chris Eubank Jr in an epic competition last month and wants a revenge match
If Benn cannot get revenge with Eubank Jr, he said he wanted to fight Devin Haney then
“If it was not Eubank, this chapter closed and I went down to 147. I would prefer Haney out of their lot. But then again, I don’t want to catch a trial, so I will probably give an evolution.
Benn referred to the trial that Haney brought against Ryan Garcia last year after Garcia failed a drug test after their resentment match in April 2024.
Haney asked for damages for the battery, fraud and breach of contract after losing against Garcia, before the fight was further deemed a competition in light of the Garcia positive test.
Haney and Garcia settled their trials in January and had targeted a revenge match for later this year.
They appeared on the same card last Friday evening in Times Square, with Benn looking at Ringsoid.
However, the night did not go planning Garcia or Haney.
Garcia suffered a defeat of the shock points by Rolly Romero after being overthrown in the second round, while Haney surpassed Jose Ramirez but failed to impress in a dull fight.
Benn saw Haney closely and now has his research against the two -weight world champion.

Haney is undefeated in 33 professional battles and is a former unquestionable light weight champion, while he has also won a belt at a light weight.
He now seems to be moving towards Welters weights after fighting Ramirez to a handful of 144 pounds, and Benn clearly indicated that he would be more than happy to welcome Haney in the division.
