British boxer Conor Benn stated that after his victory in the rematch with Chris Eubank Jr., he wants to return to welterweight and fight for the WBC title, which is currently held by Mario Barrios.
"With all my heart and mind, I am very much thinking about winning the WBC welterweight title. It is the belt my father won, and I would gladly win it. It's my dream.
I am ahead of my father 1-0 because I beat Eubank. If I also win the WBC belt, it will be a memorable moment for me.
Of course, it will be difficult to make the welterweight limit again. I haven't cut weight to 147 pounds for a long time. A few years ago I made 152 pounds, but it's been a while since I had to make 147 pounds — the weight of a title fight. It will be challenging, but ultimately that's what we do," said Benn.
Let us recall that on November 15, Benn defeated Eubank in a middleweight limit rematch by unanimous decision of the judges.
