Conor Benn is gearing up to steamroll Peter Dobson at The Chelsea in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas this Saturday, February 3, with the whole shebang streaming live on DAZN for the world to see. Benn’s message is loud and clear: he’s on the hunt in 2024, ready to stir up a storm in the boxing world.
Grab your tickets, folks – the Vegas showdown kicks off at 11am PT, with Benn and Dobson slated to throw down around 2.30pm PT.
Benn (22-0, 14 KOs) is hitting the ring for the second time stateside, fresh off a comeback victory in Orlando. He’s dubbed ‘The Destroyer’ for a reason and promises to unleash a world of hurt on Dobson (16-0, 9 KOs), eyeing a quick return to the ring by spring.
Benn’s got a laundry list of boxing bigwigs in his sights, from British brawlers like Chris Eubank Jr and Kell Brook to stateside sluggers Devin Haney and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. First order of business? Wipe the floor with Dobson, then it’s open season on the heavy hitters.
Benn’s not just all talk, “I’m the real deal, and I prove it every time I step into the ring. Want a boxing lesson or a straight-up brawl? Your choice. This fight’s a reminder of who I am. Despite the hurdles, I’ve kept my discipline, honed my skills, and stayed hungry. You’ll see the proof of that come Saturday.”
Looking ahead, Benn’s eyeing a blockbuster bout back in the UK, “I owe it to my fans, the ones who’ve weathered the storm with me. We’re in this together. I’m all about giving them the showdowns they deserve.”
Benn keeps it simple, “I leave the deal-making to my team. My job? Stay focused, train hard, and drown out the distractions. Titles, big-money fights, big names – they’re all in a day’s work. But at the end of the day, it’s all about the win for me.”
Even with potential fights falling through, Benn remains unfazed, “Next opponent, please. I’m on a mission to remind everyone why I’m the most feared at 147lbs.”
Benn feels like he’s aged a decade in the last 18 months, “It’s been a rollercoaster, but it’s only made me tougher, more resilient. I’ve had my moments of doubt, but here I am, ready to face whatever’s next.”
Regarding potential matchups, Benn’s game for anyone, anywhere, “Bill Haney mentioned a fight with Devin? I’m in. Devin’s talking smack? Let him come over and see for himself. And as for Boots? Global recognition beats being a local hero. I’m out here making waves, while he’s questioning my rep. Time for a reality check.”
Benn’s Las Vegas rumble with Dobson is just the tip of the iceberg, with a stellar undercard featuring unbeaten talents like Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams and Armel Mbumba-Yassa clashing for titles.
It’s a Brit-fest with Benn’s stablemates George Liddard, Jimmy Sains, and George Fisher adding some UK flair to the mix, alongside light-heavyweight Khalil Coe facing off against knockout artist Gerardo Osuna. This lineup is set to light up Vegas, so don’t miss out.
