Conor Benn Next Fight: When Is ‘The Destroyer’ Fighting Chris Eubank Jr?
It’s fair to say that boxing fans have various contrasting opinions when it comes to Conor Benn. Some believe he is innocent and never took performance enhancing drugs, others don’t believe Benn’s sentiments at all and are adamant he cheated.
No matter which side of the fence you fall on when it comes to Conor Benn, one thing that cannot be denied is the fact he is a huge name. Outside of Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Chris Eubank Jr, it could be argued that Conor Benn is the next biggest name in British boxing. Period.

Could Conor Benn Fight For A World Title If He Beats Chris Eubank Jr In His Next Fight?
Should Conor Benn’s next fight be a success against Chris Eubank Jr, it is likely the 28-year-old will fight for a world title before the end of 2025. Whether that be at his natural weight class of welterweight, or perhaps 154/160-pounds remains to be seen.
One thing is for certain, if he beats Eubank Jr and looks good doing so, he will have a whole host of options going forward.
Benn is ranked highly with all of the governing bodies at welterweight. This means that he has a strong case to put his name forward to challenge for a world title. He may even be called as a mandatory for one of these belts in the not so distant future.
Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis currently holds the IBF Title at 147-pounds – a fighter also promoted by Matchroom Boxing. This fight would be easy to make given they both fight from the same stable, making it a real possibility for 2025.
The best UK boxing betting sites would likely price ‘The Destroyer’ as an fairly big underdog against ‘Boots’ or any of the welterweight world champions. However, Benn is evidently full of self belief and would be confident of beating any of the belt holders at welterweight.
Time will tell who Conor Benn’s next fight will be against in 2025, provided he gets through his all-British grudge match with Chris Eubank Jr. One thing is for certain, it is sure to be a colossal fight regardless of who is in the opposite corner.
