Conor Benn says he wants to fight for a welterweight title against one of the champions after he faces middleweight Chris Eubank Jr. in their rematch on November 15. Losing twice to Eubank Jr. will make Benn undeserving of a world title shot at 147.<\/p>\n
Benn is looking past the Eubank Jr. fight, assuming he\u2019s going to win. Unless he makes massive improvements from the first fight, he\u2019s likely to lose again, but worse this time.<\/p>\n
Benn Calls Out Shakur and Haney<\/p>\n
Whatever argument that Benn has for deserving a world title shot at 147, it\u2019ll have holes shot through it if he\u2019s beaten again by Eubank Jr. How on earth would Conor deserve a title shot with him coming off consecutive losses to Eubank Jr?<\/p>\n
Obviously, boxing is a business, but what message would that send to fans if Benn is given a world title shot at welterweight with a 0-2 record in his last two fights?<\/p>\n
Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) states that he wants to \u201cdo a number\u201d on these fighters:<\/p>\n
Shakur Stevenson
\nDevin Haney
\nBrian Norman Jr.
\nMario Barrios<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is the WBC world title [Mario Barrios]? I\u2019d like to fight all the Americans. They\u2019re currently killing it. Devin Haney vs. Brian Norman, I\u2019d love the winner,\u201d said Conor Benn to Inside Ring<\/a> about who he wants to fight after he faces middleweight Chris Eubank Jr. in their rematch on November 15, 2025.<\/p>\n Olly\u2019s Viewpoint: Title Shot Eligibility\u00a0<\/p>\n Conor Benn, 29, is ranked #4 WBC and #5 WBA at welterweight. The problem is, Conor hasn\u2019t beaten anyone at the top level at 147. Losing to middleweight Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KOs) by a competitive 12-round unanimous decision earlier this year on April 26, 2025, still doesn\u2019t show that Benn deserves to fight for a world title at 147.<\/p>\n Benn\u2019s best wins at welterweight are against these fighters:<\/p>\n Chris Van Heerden \u201cShakur, if he wants to come up. Any of your top guys because you want to compare yourself to them,\u201d said Conor about wanting to fight lightweight Shakur Stevenson.<\/p>\n To deserve a world title shot at 147, Benn should at least prove himself against these two fighters: Shakhram Giyasov and Karen Chukhadzhian.<\/p>\n \u201cWe put them on a pedestal over here. So, you really want to mix it with them and do a number on them,\u201d said Benn.<\/p>\n Since 2015, Olly Campbell has brought readers a clear ringside perspective and a steady voice on boxing\u2019s biggest nights.<\/p>\n Olly Campbell has been covering boxing since 2010 and has written for Boxing News 24 since 2014.
