As one of the most famous and recognisable names in world boxing, fans want to know who Conor Benn’s next fight will be against. Read on to find out who Conor Benn’s next fight is against, and what his options are moving forward in the welterweight division.
Conor Benn Next Fight: What Next For ‘The Destroyer’?
Here at SportsLens we are on hand to assess what could be next for Conor Benn. As one of the most recognisable names in the sport of boxing, Conor Benn could be on course for some huge fights going forward.
Conor Benn’s next fight has been officially confirmed, as the controversial British boxer is set for his first fight of 2024 in a welterweight contest. Benn is set for a undefeated clash against America’s Peter Dobson on Saturday, February 3. The fight is a 12 round contest at 147-pounds.
The 27-year-old Brit is the overriding favourite with the best boxing betting sites to beat Dobson with relative ease.
Conor Benn’s next fight against Peter Dobson goes down at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Both fighters are undefeated, but it is the Conor Benn record that is far more eye-catching and emphatic.
Should Benn get through this fight with Dobson unscathed, some potentially huge dust-ups await. The clash with Chris Eubank Jr makes obvious appeal, as does a potential fight with former British boxing star and world champion Kell Brook.

Options For Conor Benn’s Next Fight
Below we assess what could be next for ‘The Destroyer’, and who Conor Benn’s next fight could be against should he defeat Peter Dobson.
Conor Benn vs Chris Eubank Jr?
A potential fight for Conor Benn next is of course the highly talked about clash with Chris Eubank Jr. The fight sells itself, given the family history of Eubank vs Benn, as well as the whole saga back in October 2022 when the fight was meant to happen, but was cancelled.
There is a narrative that Eddie Hearn can sell as a promoter, given what happened with the fight falling out of bed the first time around. This was of course due to Conor Benn testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.
Since then, Eubank Jr had two fights with Liam Smith, losing one via knockout before winning the rematch in conclusive fashion. The weight is the biggest factor here, with Benn a welterweight (147-pounds) and ‘Next Gen’ a middleweight (160-pounds) or even a super-middle (168-pounds).
However, this fight is the biggest money spinner for both fighters. Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn makes sense financially, with both men making a minimum of £5 million+ at the very least. Whether or not it happens next remains to be seen, but it is a fight that British fans are still crying out for.
Eubank Jr would likely go into the fight as the slight favourite with the best online gambling sites, but it would be a tough one to call. It all depends on what weight the fight is at and how Benn looks in his next fight against Peter Dobson first.
Conor Benn vs Kell Brook?
Another potential option for Conor Benn down the line is a fight with former British boxing superstar Kell Brook. Brook is one of the biggest stars of British boxing of the past decade, having being world champion as well as fighting the likes of Gennady Golovkin and Amir Khan.
The Sheffield man is officially retired, but has hinted several times at returning to the ring. If Brook is to return to the ring, a fight with Conor Benn has been rumoured on more than one occasion. This is a fight that makes sense weight wise, as well as in terms of name value.
Although the fight is more unlikely than Benn vs Eubank Jr, there is a slim chance that the fight takes place. Time will tell whether it happens or not. ‘The Destroyer’ would likely go into the fight as a favourite with the best UK sports betting apps to beat Brook, given that Brook has been retired for a couple of years now.
