Conor Benn's father Nigel has claimed his son wants a fight with Chris Eubank Jr next.
Benn has been out of action since an explosive KO victory over Chris Van Heerden earlier this year and was promised a big fight by promoter Eddie Hearn to step up his career further. The young star previously stated he was also willing to sidetrack his title hopes to meet Eubank Jr in a domestic grudge match if the pair could agree a catchweight.
Reports have indicated that Benn is set to meet Eubank Jr next with the event taking place as the first fight on DAZN's pay-per-view platform. His father Nigel has dropped the biggest hint yet that the fight is on, after responding to a fan on Twitter who questioned the fight: "This is what Conor wants, this won’t ruin Conor he’s not made like that. Well let’s see how he does. I’m backing him win lose or draw my friend."
