British star Conor Benn labelled a 'bum' by rival

A war of words begins.

Peter Dobson has not been too complimentary towards Conor Benn ahead of their fight on February 3. 

The two are set to go head-to-head in Las Vegas live on DAZN in what will be Dobson's first fight in nearly two years. 

With Dobson coming out of a period of inactivity, many are not giving the American a chance of beating Benn who is looking to make up for lost time and push towards the big fights which he believes are a part of his destiny. 

However, Dobson is confident that he can pull off the upset against the British star and was quick to land the first blow in the mind games with Benn. 

"If you wanna win some bread (money), bet on me for February 3rd," Dobson stated on a self-recorded video.

"Conor Benn is a bum and they got him beating me on the odds in Vegas.

"The kid is a bum. I don't know how they think he can beat me."

Dobson will be coming into the fight with an unbeaten 16-0 record, with nine of those wins coming by way of knockout, but this upcoming fight with Benn will be a step into uncharted territory with this contest being the first 12 rounder in his 10 years as a professional boxer.
