Benn-van Heerden Final Press Conference

Welterweights Conor Benn and Chris van Heerden faced off at the final press conference ahead of Saturday’s action at the AO Arena in Manchester, England, shown live worldwide on DAZN (excluding New Zealand and Australia).

Conor Benn: “I knocked out Algieri out like no one else has. I’m going to knock Van Heerden out like no one else has…it’s not emotion, I just fight with passion. I work extremely hard and it ain’t just me working hard. It’s six years of sacrifice to let a moment like this slip between my fingers.”

Chris van Heerden: “I do believe I am a better boxer than Conor, all around better boxer. He’s an angry, aggressive fighter. He’s a fighter. I’m a boxer. And I do believe that I have the skill to show that I am a better boxer than Conor.”

Benn destroys van Heerden in two

Welterweight Conor “The Destroyer” Benn (21-0, 14 KOs), currently rated #5 by all four major sanctioning bodies, lived up to his nickname by annihilating Chris “The Heat” van Heerden (28-3-1, 12 KOs) in less than two rounds on Saturday night at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. Benn hurt southpaw van Heerden with a right hand, then blasted him down to the canvas to end it at :59. Benn, the son of former world champion Nigel Benn, retained his WBA Continental title.

European cruiserweight champion Chris Billam-Smith (15-1, 11 KOs) scored an eight round KO over former champion Tommy McCarthy (18-4, 9 KOs). Last year Billam-Smith beat McCarthy by split decision. This time he left no doubt, laying out McCarthy with a barrage of punches. Time was 1:28. Billam-Smith is rated IBF #3, WBO #3, WBA #5, WBC #8.

Lightweight Campbell Hatton (7-0, 2 KOs), son of former champion Ricky Hatton, outpointed Ezequiel Gregores (3-10, 0 KOs) over six rounds. Scored 60-54.

WBC female super featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner (12-1, 7 KOs) scored a one-sided ten round unanimous decision against Edith Matthysse (17-12-1, 1 KOs), who failed to make weight. Scores were 100-90 3x.

“Little Lever’s Meat Cleaver” Jack Cullen (20-3-1, 9 KOs), now campaigning as a light heavyweight, won an 80-72 eight round shutout against Vladimir Belujsky (12-3-1, 8 KOs).

Benn did destroy him, was caught a few times and a bigger puncher may have hurt him but good performance.
Hopefully khan stays well away
Like to see Benn v Eubank


RE: Benn/Van Heerden. Free. SKY. FREE - diehard - 04-17-2022

Yeah, Khan/Eubank would be a good fight. Really rate Benn. Looking forward to the Spence fight coming up. Warriors on soon. Made my Sunday!

Don't rate Benn at all and the matchmaking for him has been awful.
