And the Matchroom chief revealed then that the plan was for Benn to fight twice before the end of the year. He told talkSPORT: “He wants the biggest fight out there because he has been through a year and half of hell with no fight. “Like every young fighter, he wants the biggest fight out there. What I would say that after 16/17 months out of the ring, you are in a situation where you could be rusty.
“So I would like him to have a fight in September and have his big fight in December. Whether that is against Kell Brook, whether that is Chris Eubank Jr, whether that is Josh Taylor, there are loads of fights out there.“He has tried to stay positive, tried to maintain his focus on the sport and he has done a great job doing that.”18+ New customers only.
