Froch Advises Conor Benn to Avoid Rushing into Gervonta Davis Clash
Former super middleweight champion Carl Froch has cautioned Conor Benn against rushing into a potential showdown with top-level opponent Gervonta Davis.
Benn recently expressed interest in facing Davis, a move supported by his promoter, Eddie Hearn. However, Froch believes Benn should exercise patience and avoid immediate confrontations with elite fighters like Davis.
While Benn competes in the welterweight division, he has struggled to make the division limit in recent bouts, often competing around junior middleweight. Davis, on the other hand, has showcased his versatility by competing across multiple weight classes, including lightweight and junior welterweight.
Hearn has indicated that any potential bout between Benn and Davis would need to adhere to the welterweight limit of 147 pounds.
Speaking on the matter, Froch emphasized the importance of Benn taking his time to progress gradually in his career. He stressed that while Benn may be eager to challenge for world titles, jumping into fights with seasoned veterans like Davis could be premature.
Froch expressed his respect for Davis's skills and toughness, acknowledging the risks associated with facing such a formidable opponent. He urged Benn to focus on building himself back up and regaining momentum in his career before pursuing high-stakes matchups.
Benn's recent hiatus from competition, coupled with his aspirations for a title shot, led Froch to advocate for a more strategic approach to his career progression. He emphasized the need for Benn to prioritize gradual development and regain his competitive edge before considering battles with top-tier fighters like Davis.
