Conor Benn is giving the edge to Tommy Fury ahead of his October blockbuster when he faces the challenge of KSI.
Benn is eagerly awaiting an official return to the ring following a lengthy absence after an adverse finding was discovered in his drug test ahead of a meeting against Chris Eubank Jr last year, but he still very much has his eye on the sport’s biggest events.
Fury and KSI collide next month following months of verbal exchanges between the pair and it’s Fury that begins the fight favourite.
Earlier this year, Fury had to climb off the canvas to get past Jake Paul, and even though he enters his next bout in good form, Benn believes the contest will be a closely fought affair.
“It’s a hard fight for both, I think. It’s a 50-50 fight," said Benn when speaking to Seconds Out. "I’m not picking, I’m sitting on the fence because I like Tommy and I like KSI.”
“You’d think Tommy would win, you’d think. So, I’ll maybe go 55% Tommy, 45% KSI.”
