Conor Benn (21-0, 14 KOs) failed a doping test and missed the opportunity, at least for now, of a very interesting and profitable fight with Chris Eubank Jr. (32-3, 23 KOs). But according to his promoter Eddie Hearn, the Brit could get another great shot at the fight.

Hearn raised the topic of meeting with the legendary Manny Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs). While the Filipino is beating bloggers, signing a contract with the Japanese Rizin FF, and his team is negotiating a fight with Anthony Mundin (48-11, 28 KOs). But in one of the last interviews, the head of Matchroom Boxing said that he also communicates with Pacquiao's representatives.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Conor Benn in the ring with Manny Pacquiao. There were several negotiations, preliminary conversations, but at the moment nothing concrete yet, ”said the British promoter.
