Conor Benn reveals dream to conquer America after Chris Eubank Jr rematch

Conor Benn wants to test himself against America’s best when he returns to welterweight following his rematch with Chris Eubank Jr.

Benn will be hoping to exact revenge on Eubank Jr when they face each other for the second time at middleweight on 15 November, live on DAZN.

Regardless of the outcome, Benn is planning to drop back down to 147lb afterwards, and he has targeted a shot at WBC champion Mario Barrios, who holds the belt his father Nigel won up at super-middleweight in the 1990s.

But Benn also has his sights set on bigger names in the US, including Shakur Stevenson and the winner of the WBO title fight between Brian Norman Jr and Devin Haney in November.

“I'd like to fight Barrios, [but] once I've got the WBC title... it's a hard one," Benn told Inside The Ring. "I'd like Shakur [Stevenson], all the yanks, all the Americans. They're currently killing it.

“Obviously, you've got Lewis Crocker over here who won the IBF title... but Devin Haney-Brian Norman, I'd love the winner, same for Shakur, if he wants to come up.

"Any of your top guys, you want to compare yourself to them. We put them on a pedestal over here, so you really want to mix it with them and do a number on them.”

Stevenson is currently the WBC champion at lightweight but is expected to move up to super lightweight to face WBO and Ring titlist Teofimo Lopez in early 2026.

He could make a further step up to welterweight in the future, opening up the possibility of a fight with Benn down the line.

The two men appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show earlier this year as they verbally agreed to a fight, and Benn remains keen on making it happen.

Benn headed Stateside after his narrow defeat by Eubank Jr in April and received plenty of plaudits for his performance from US fans.

He has fought on the other side of the Atlantic multiple times before and has now revealed he would love to win a world title on away turf before bringing it back to Britain.

“I feel like I'm quite well-known over there," Benn said. "Whenever I go to the States the love they show me is second to none. But I've always wanted to go over there, win the title and bring it home, that's just something I've always wanted to do.

"Going there and beating your champion and bringing it home, there's something rewarding in that.”
