Shakur Stevenson, the WBO super lightweight champion, has expressed strong interest in fighting Conor Benn after observing Benn's lackluster performance against Regis Prograis in London. Stevenson criticized Benn's skills, stating, 'he's not on my level,' and emphasized his confidence in defeating Benn decisively. During the fight, Prograis, who was reportedly injured, managed to make Benn look unimpressive, leading Stevenson to label the bout as 'very boring.' Benn's performance was particularly disappointing given his substantial reported purse of $15 million. Stevenson also noted that Benn has not scored a knockout since his failed drug tests for the banned substance clomiphene, suggesting that this may have impacted his fighting ability. As Benn prepares for a potential return to the ring in September, Stevenson is eager to take on the British fighter, asserting that he would be disappointed if he did not stop him. Meanwhile, Benn has called out WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia, but Stevenson expressed skepticism about Benn’s chances against Garcia, highlighting the unpredictability of Garcia's performance.
