What's next for Conor Benn?

After losing the opportunity to fight Chris Eubank Jr. the last time, Conor Benn still has his eye set on the grudge match. Interestingly, Eddie Hearn, Benn's promoter has claimed that they are looking to make the fight happen on December 23.

Speaking to Boxing King Media, following Benn's unanimous decision victory over Rodolfo Orozco, Hearn spoke about how it was important for the Brit to let go of his ring rust prior to a bout against Chris Eubank Jr. He said:

"I think he looked really sharp, looked a little bit tired towards the end because it was a real hectic pace but solid rounds and I think once he wakes up and has a couple of weeks off, you know December 23rd is our proposed date. Gives him 13 weeks tonight, I think 14 weeks tonight, two weeks off and back to camp."
