Benn Chooses His Weight Class: “I’ll Be Back”

28-year-old British boxer Conor Benn has revealed that following his upcoming clash with IBO middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr., he plans to return to his old stomping grounds.

“I’ll be back in the welterweight division. Yes, I’ll be back — no doubt about it.

It’s tough, but I do enjoy not having to kill myself with the diet. At the end of the day, I’ve adapted well to sparring — instead of trying to match them in size or power, I use what I’ve got,” said Benn.

Benn is set to face Eubank Jr. on April 26 at middleweight. Detailed fight stats and matchup breakdown are available via RTFight at this link.
