Former boxer Amir Khan has tipped Conor Benn to become the next pay-per-view star in Britain but says promoter Eddie Hearn is “holding him back”.
Benn called out Khan for a fight before the 35-year-old announced his retirement from fighting last week. He hung up his gloves after a February loss to rival Kell Brook, who has also since retired. Khan believes that Benn could be huge but needs to target fighters that would shock fans – rather than the likes of him and Brook.
