Conor Nigel Benn (born 28 September 1996) is a British professional boxer who competes at welterweight. He is the son of former middleweight and super middleweight world champion boxer Nigel Benn.[2]
Professional boxing career
Benn made his professional debut in April 2016 aged 19 at The O2 Arena in London defeating Bulgarian Ivailo Boyanov by technical knockout in the first round.[3] He followed this with a points victory over Luke 'The Nuke' Keleher at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow and a knockout of Lukas Radic in May and June respectively.[4][5] On 10 September 2016, Benn was due to fight Silvije Kebet on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin vs. Kell Brook. After Silvije Kebet pulled out Benn defeated late replacement Joe Ducker by technical knockout in the second round to take his unbeaten record to 4-0.[6] On September 24, Benn fought his first ever six round fight and was taken the distance by Ross Jameson. Benn won a clear points decision. This also marked his first time fighting at the Manchester Arena, a venue his father fought at many times at world championship level.[7]
