Conor Benn: "Give Me Ennis, Barrios, and Stanionis"

British welterweight boxer Conor Benn (23-0, 14 KOs) stated that he is prepared to take on the challenges from the champions in the division.

"Let’s go. Give me Ennis. No problem. Give me Barrios. Give me Stanionis. I’m not running from anyone. I’m ready to move up to middleweight to fight the one they say I can't beat (Chris Eubank Jr. — ed.). So let him come down to welterweight. I’m a fighter. That’s what we do; that’s our life. You should never avoid a fight. When you step into the ring, you go all the way, to the last bell. That’s who you are. It’s in your DNA; it’s part of you. You won’t get far in this sport if you’re afraid to fight someone," Benn said in an interview with Fight Hub TV.

In the welterweight division (up to 66.7 kg), Jaron Ennis (32-0, 29 KOs) holds the IBF title, Mario Barrios (29-2, 18 KOs) has the WBC belt, and Eimantas Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs) holds the WBA title.
