Conor Benn – on Next Opponent: “Romero, Ryan, Barrios, and Then — Haney”

British boxer Conor Benn stated that in 2026 he hopes to meet the winner of the bout between WBC Welterweight champion Mario Barrios and Ryan Garcia.

“Yeah, definitely. I mean, I look at the British welterweight scene at the minute and there’s no one there that I’m really concerned about. There’s no one there that really gets the juices flowing. For me, it’s the Rolly Romero, Ryan Garcia, Barrios and then [Devin] Haney’s last on that list.

But yeah, I want to go over there and fight the big names over there in America. And beat some of the top Americans. Because I feel like us British fighters look at the Americans and go, ‘God, they’re really good.’

But really, to go over there and do it or to beat one of them, it’s a bigger statement in my opinion,” said Benn.

On November 15, Conor Benn (24-1, 14 KOs) defeated Chris Eubank Jr in a rematch by unanimous decision. After this, Conor topped the WBC Welterweight rankings.
