Hearn Confirms Davis vs. Benn Fight Discussions

Promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) has indeed received his offer for a fight against British welterweight boxer Conor Benn (23-0, 14 KOs).

"Gervonta has responded. It seems to me this guy will never be happy.

This fight will bring a huge amount of pay-per-views. Davis should be part of this show. He can get a big purse. It's a huge sum.

We're already discussing it. Let's see where it leads.

Conor wants to have his next fight as soon as possible. I don't want to say too much to not interfere with our plans, but I promise Benn will face a very serious opponent," said Hearn. Benn started February with a win over Peter Dobson. After that fight, Gervonta offered Conor a match in the welterweight division. Davis last fought in April 2023, knocking out Ryan Garcia.
