Why not Jarron Ennis right now? They are both contenders, why is no one from matchroom calling out Ennis? Why isn’t Benn himself? His father was the ULTIMATE warrior at home and abroad, mix it up with Ennis!

Because they don't want to get the f.uck beat out of Benn.

You beat me to it

Ennis has had 27 pro fights and 23 amateur 50 total and was fighting Gustavo Garibay whoever that is in a six rounder at the same point Benn is now, so obviously Ennis isn't an ULTIMATE warrior then .. why you so down on Ennis he looks good .. just seems to have been over protected a bit .. 27 fights when you have an amateur record is very slow.

Benn has had only 18 pro fights no amateurs on record ... 32 less fights not even half Ennis's total but facing far tougher opposition than Ennis was at 18 fights so he's coming on a lot faster.

.. and yeah the clever money is he'd get beat by Ennis at this point in his career but he's improving still really fast .. let him have half the fights Ennis has had that's fair.

I cant wait for this wreck, hehe! Conor Bent, your career reminds me of the Weeknd ' After-Hours' theme. You are going to get your face smashed when you face a real killer.

There was a time when most people would pick Joshua over wilder and Joshua has far less fights. Many would even pick Joshua over the older now and I even think it’s a toss up. If Benn is ready for a title fight in a year then he is ready to take on legit contenders now. Why wait? His father would have fought a grizzly bear…..and would have rocked the bear a few times. Ennis vs Benn NOW, not later. If Ennis is protected then taking on a Benn is a good matchup.

Avanesyan needs to be a part of Benn's development.

Absolutely and if Hearn is talking (nonesense AGAIN!) like this then Avanesyan is the right move for such huge expectations.
