Will Conor Benn defeat Chris Eubank Jr.?

Conor Benn is currently a considerable underdog for Chris Eubank Jr.

'The Destroyer' is currently undefeated, and has barely been challenged in his boxing career. His punching power is also one of the best in the welterweight and it was on display in his most recent victory over Chris van Heerden in April.

However, the 26-year-old hasn't had a long career. As a consequence, he hasn't faced a top fighter at 147-pounds. Now, Benn isn't just fighting a contender in his next matchup, he's fighting a former champion from a bigger weight class.

For his part, 'Next Gen' appears to be hitting his prime and stated that his goal is to fight for a title next. However, he took the one-off bout with Benn as a way to get a payday for a relatively low-risk matchup.

The oddsmakers and pundits appear to be with the former champion and have Conor Benn as a solid underdog for the showdown next Saturday. While the prospect could one day become a titleholder, this matchup is going to be a very tough one for him.
