Conor Benn’s opponent compared himself to two of the best fighters in the division.
Dobson is an experienced, undefeated 33-year-old with 16 victories and nine knockouts to his name.
He has been lined up as Benn’s rival for this Saturday night, in a fight shown live worldwide on DAZN.com.
Benn will be fighting for the second consecutive time in the US, having beaten Rodolfo Orozco last year in Florida, but this runout is to take place in Las Vegas. Dobson cannot wait to prove himself.
“I look at it like an opportunity I have been waiting for and an opportunity for the world to see my talent and my skill,” Dobson told BoxingScene.com.
“This is, for me, where I take off. They kept me in the shadows, they kept me off TV for years, beating undefeated guys, guys with padded records. And, you know, I’m still undefeated. That shows a lot, but now the world gets to see it.”
Discussing Benn, he had little to say, but focused on his own talents.
“I can’t say he’s overrated,” Dobson said. “I feel like I’m just on another level. I’m up there with Terence Crawford, Errol Spence, all of the top fighters. I don’t know if he’s overrated or not, but I’m underrated.
“It’s an incredible story, but I feel like it’s been told a million times.
“Just an underdog, nobody believed in him, but he believed in himself and now he's made it to the highest level in boxing. You feel me? It’s like a movie.”
