Conor Benn continues to be linked to a fight with Gervonta Davis, but the British star has been told to take his time before facing the Baltimore man.
Carl Froch, a former world champion at super-middleweight, is fully aware of what it takes to share the ring with the world’s best fighters, and he’s urged Benn to slow down.
Benn had his first outing of 2024 earlier this month when he outpointed New York’s Peter Dobson in Las Vegas.
In the immediate aftermath of that fight, Benn was linked to a fight with many of boxing’s biggest names with Eddie Hearn admitting he’d be making ‘Tank’ an offer. Froch has had his say on the situation.
“I’m interested in the Gervonta Davis fight. He’s the road killer from Baltimore and half of his friends are either dead or in prison,” said Froch when speaking to BoxingScene via Instant Casino.
“He’s one tough motherf-----, like a real hard man and he’s a weight division below Conor Benn. But I don’t think that’s a fight Conor Benn should be calling out. I just think Conor just needs to take his time a little bit.
“I know he’s desperate to fight and he wants to become a world champion, but you can’t jump in with these guys. You need a stepping stone.”
