Conor Benn returns Saturday in Florida​

Conorbenn

Conor Benn will return to the ring this Saturday in Orlando, Florida – live worldwide on DAZN. Over a year since his last fight, the British fighter (21-0, 14 KOs) will officially resume his career when he faces Mexican super welterweight Rodolfo ‘Sinaloita’ Orozco (32-3-3, 24 KOs) at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida as the Hitchins-Zepeda co-main event.
Benn was provisionally suspended back in April, effective as of March 15, when his fight with Chris Eubank Jr last October was postponed.
’The Destroyer’, however, was subsequently cleared in July by UKAD and the WBC, and his provisional suspension was lifted after an independent National Anti-Doping Panel review.
Matchroom Sport chairman Eddie Hearn said: “Conor Benn is back and I’m looking forward to seeing him pick up where he left off. He’s ready to go straight in for a big fight now but his trainer Tony Sims will be pleased to get him back sooner against a game opponent in Rodolfo Orozco. Conor is looking unbelievable in the gym and I cannot wait to see him back in the ring where he belongs on what is a fantastic fight card in Florida.”
Conor Benn said: “I am undefeated in the ring, and in spirit. A return on Saturday is a step closer to redemption. After that, I’m putting the 147-160 divisions on notice. You are looking at a determined man with a deep desire to beat them all.”
 
Benn cannot prove his innocence in the UK to the BBBoC and UKAD. Eddie thinks he's slick by getting Benn to fight in the US. Eddie does not give a flying f**k about this - he cares about money. I see him and Smithy are using a classic deflection technique by starting beef with BoXXer and Shalom. Juiceroom are cheating B*****S. F**k them and their entire clique.

Never going to be a rematch. No money in it.
Fury usyk was never officially signed before, they were just in the latter stages of talks.

I don't mind hype at all, all part of the game but with him it's too much talk and too little action. I guess he's a very rich man so he doesn't give a stuff what people think but imo it's getting to the point where his legacy is gonna be all the fights that never happened rather than the ones that did. A shame.

Couldn’t agree more boxing in general needs the big fights to happen as that’s what draws the audience in
