Conor Benn gears up for showdown with WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios
Conor Benn is setting his sights on the WBC welterweight title held by Mario Barrios, declaring he is "ready" for the challenge. After overcoming a suspension for failed drug tests, Benn is eager to step back into the ring in 2025.
In a bold move, Benn not only confronted his likely opponent, Chris Eubank Jnr, but also directly addressed Barrios in a video message shared on social media. Speaking in Spanish, Benn expressed his readiness for the fight, wherever it may take place, signaling his determination to face off against Barrios for an exciting bout that fans won't forget.
The 28-year-old British boxer, who last fought in February, is gearing up for a comeback after a series of setbacks. His positive test results for a banned substance halted his plans, including a much-anticipated clash with Eubank Jnr. However, Benn is focused on the future and is eager to prove himself in the ring once again.
As he prepares to attend the WBC convention in Hamburg in December, Benn aims to solidify his position as a contender for Barrios' title. Meanwhile, Barrios' recent draw with Abel Ramos has only fueled Benn's determination to secure a shot at the WBC welterweight championship.
