Conor Benn is unhappy with Gervonta Davis’ decision not to accept an offer to fight him.
‘The Destroyer’ is fresh off a destructive win over Peter Dobson earlier this month in Las Vegas. For Benn, the victory was just his second since late 2022. That October, the Brit famously had his career interrupted by a drug test failure.
As a result, a scheduled pay-per-view fight with Chris Eubank Jr. was scrapped. However, Benn seemingly has a new lease on life with his latest win. Quickly, several high-profile names, including former champion Adrien Broner, called him out.
