Conor Nigel Benn is a British professional boxer who has held the WBA Continental welterweight title since 2018. He is the son of former two-division world champion of boxing, Nigel Benn.
He made his professional debut in April 2016 aged 19 at The O2 Arena in London defeating Bulgarian Ivailo Boyanov by technical knockout in the first round.
After a layoff, it was announced that Benn would return to the O2 Arena on 1 July 2017. Benn stopped Mike Cole after knocking him down following a left hook in round 3, recording his fifth stoppage victory.
In January 2018, the British Boxing Board of Control set out some purse bids for their titles. One of the fights they ordered put Benn against Isaac MacLeod in an English welterweight title eliminator.
As of May 2022, Benn is ranked as the world’s eighth best active welterweight by ESPN, ninth by The Ring magazine, and tenth by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board and BoxRec.
