In an unlikely development, it looks like talks are underway for Conor Benn to face Gervonta Davis at some point in 2024.
It was revealed last week that Eddie Hearn would be making an offer to ‘Tank’ regarding a jump to welterweight following Benn’s most recent win, a points decision over Peter Dobson.
Benn’s name has constantly been linked to huge fights with Chris Eubank Jr and Kell Brook often the frontrunners in the United Kingdom.
Davis is the latest fighter to be added to the list, and George Groves, a former world champion at 168lbs, has had his say on the intriguing clash.
“I dunno, I wouldn’t go against Davis,” said Groves when speaking on the Froch on Fighting show.
Benn, is the best still yet to come? He’s naturally bigger but doesn’t have a comprehensive boxing background.”
