Conor Benn shares future plans and opponents ahead of Chris Eubank Jr. rematch

Will Conor Benn stay at 160 after Eubank Jr. rematch?

Chris Eubank Jr. (35-3, 25 KOs) and Conor Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) are getting ready for round two this weekend in London.

The pair first faced off in a continuation of their fathers' feud earlier in the year , where a much larger Eubank Jr. proved that size matters, edging the decision in an enthralling 12-round affair.

Speaking about the weight disparity between the two, Connor Benn - who is a natural welterweight - stresses that there is no fear in stepping back in the ring with his larger rival.

"If I was scared or not a proper fighting man, would I have given the public this fight? Probably not, no. I'm the one jumping up two weights at the end of the day," Benn told Sky Sports .

‘The Destroyer’ went on to reveal that he is full of confidence ahead of the highly anticipated rematch.

"He couldn't lose the first one, you're fighting a welterweight for God's sake. You've got to think that was the second time going 12 rounds in my whole career.

"I'm about to tuck him in on Saturday.

"I think Chris will retire after this fight," Benn predicted.

Benn admitted that preparing for this fight has been a struggle and doesn;t see a future at 160lbs, with his heart set on a return to welterweight following this weekend's contest.

"He's fighting a welterweight," Benn stated. "I'll drop back down to welterweight and carry on pursuing my goals and dreams at 147. This is my final fight at 160."

"It's been the bane of my life for the past three years. So I just can't wait for this to be done and over with and I can just move on with my career.

"My goal is to win a world title at welterweight," he said. "Right now my goal is to get back down to welterweight. I have the best team, nutritionist, a chef to get back down to 147."

Th 29-year-old, when pushed, even named his biggest target at the weight, "Mario Barrios."
