Sky Sports<\/a>, Olympic Gold Medalist Campbell said he would happily pause his political career \u2013 he is now the mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire \u2013 to fight Benn.<\/p>\n\u201c100 percent. If it came my way, definitely. I haven\u2019t called anyone out. He was insulting me and I just responded to that. Everything\u2019s gone from there really. I would definitely entertain it.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Benn\u2019s performance against Garcia, Campbell said there were levels separating him from the American champion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what was going through his head or what level he thought he was at [when he fought Garcia]. I don\u2019t know what the boxing IQ was or what the game plan was.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be the same result [with me as with Garcia], probably a knockout. I don\u2019t know if it would be two rounds but it would be the same result.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benn has so far given nothing away about when he will return, content with a rest with his family. His manager, Keith Connelly, has floated a middleweight move before pursuing a trilogy with Chris Eubank Jr at super-middleweight. Whatever happens, Campbell \u2013 who retired after the Garcia loss \u2013 is unlikely to be a part of the plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Conor Benn\u2019s next move remains up in the air following a second-round knockout loss to Ryan Garcia in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":802266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-802265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=802265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/802266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=802265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=802265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=802265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
