Conor Benn called out by world champion who wiped opponent’s memory for six weeks with brutal knockout

Conor Benn could have a huge challenge ahead against a fighter with a devastating punch.

Currently, ‘The Destroyer’ looks likely to head in the direction of a Chris Eubank Jr rematch.

However, that’s not his only option on the table.

A welterweight world champion has offered to defend his belt against the Brit.

Brian Norman Jr. wants to fight Conor Benn

On June 19, Brian Norman Jr. produced a spectacular performance against Jin Sasaki, with the American rendering his opponent unconscious with a thunderous left hook.

Remarkably, in the aftermath, Sasaki’s coach said that the Norman KO wiped six weeks of his fighter’s memory.

Now, the WBO King has called for a massive showdown with Conor Benn.

In an interview with Sky Sports, he said: “World champion. I don’t care where we’re at, when we step into the four corners, welcome to my city.

“I thought you knew me by now. I don’t mind where we go.

“I’m pretty sure if he comes down to 147lbs, he can make some noise and I’ll gladly fight him out there in the UK.”

Conor Benn could fight all-time great almost two decades older than him

While a second match-up with Eubank Jr would capture the imagination of the British boxing enthusiasts, and a clash with Norman would undoubtedly please hardcore fans, there’s still one more path Benn could follow.

Having become one of the biggest names in the UK, the 28-year-old has become a star attraction.

With that in mind, there might be something huge around the corner.

In an interesting turn of events, Benn could fight a boxing legend.
