Conor Benn is ready to showcase his violent nature in the U.S. as he headlines against Peter Dobson on February 3. The fight in Las Vegas airs on DAZN worldwide.
Benn (22-0) turned pro at 19 in 2016. He was supposed to face Chris Eubank Jr., but the fight got scrapped after the former failed two drug tests for banned substance clomifene. The WBC has since restored Benn to its rankings, accepting the fighter’s version of events that he did not knowingly ingest the fertility drug that can also be used to boost testosterone.
Last July, the National Anti-Doping Panel lifted Benn’s provision suspension from the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD), a verdict that UKAD and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBB of C) appealed. While this process remains ongoing, the BBB of C will not license Benn to fight in his homeland. After returning to action with a wide points victory over Rodolfo Orozco in Orlando last September, Vegas is now calling.
“I’m going to make an example of him. He can do the talking. Talk as much as you want, the outcome will be the same. Delusion is one hell of a thing, and there’s a fine line between delusion and confidence,” Benn said of Dobson. “I know what I am bringing in, and that’s sheer violence, sheer brutality, sheer spite. Whatever he does, I do better, and I am going in there to handle business and deal with him in serious fashion.”
Dobson (16-0) turned pro in 2014. The 33-year-old didn’t compete in 2023, with his last fight being a unanimous decision win in June 2022 against Rodrigo Damian Coria.
