The British star was in action on Saturday night.

Conor Benn is wanting to keep active in 2024. 

The British welterweight got a hard fought win over American Peter Dobson in Las Vegas after going the full distance in their 12 round contest.  

Now Benn is on the hunt for a big fight and in his post fight press conference, he revealed that his sights are set on an interim champion at 147lbs. 

"I’ll fight anyone man. Preferably, if we can go [Mario] Barrios next for the WBC Interim, that would be my choice," Benn said. 

"Obviously, you got the Errol Spence-Crawford fight. I don’t know what’s happening with that. I’m not here to waste time and wait around for anyone.

"For me, I just want to get out there. Get back out. Like I said to the team, I’m ready to go in April."

Mario Barrios was crowned the WBC interim welterweight champion last September when he beat former welterweight world champion Yordenis Ugas.
