“Maybe 14 months out of the ring played a factor,” a downcast Conor Benn says. “That’d be the only thing. Just maybe inactivity. But apart from that, I felt like it was a close fight. I’m not going to say I think I won it and all that. I’ve got to watch it back. I know it was close. I stayed on the ropes maybe a bit too long. He worked harder towards the end. I’m going to have to watch it back, but I enjoyed it.”
As for Benn’s future plans, he’s got a couple things in mind.
“I believe I can fight at 160,” he says. “If we don’t do the rematch, which I’d love to avenge that loss, I’d go back down to welterweight and win the WBC world title. So it’s either [WBC welterweight champion] Mario Barrios or the rematch with Eubank Jr. Whichever happens next I’ll be content with.”
