Mini bio
How it started.
The son of Nigel Benn, Conor grew up in Mallorca before his family moved to Sydney. He began boxing in Australia, then returned to England at 19 to pursue a professional career. His debut at The O2 in April 2016 ended with a first-round stoppage of Ivailo Boyanov.
Making his own name.
Benn won the WBA Continental welterweight title against Cedrick Peynaud in July 2018. A fourth-round knockout of former world champion Chris Algieri in December 2021 became another marker of his progress.
A difficult interruption.
His career was disrupted by anti-doping proceedings. In November 2024, UKAD confirmed that an independent panel had dismissed the charge and lifted his provisional suspension because it was not comfortably satisfied that UKAD had proved the alleged violation. UKAD subsequently decided not to appeal.
The stadium years.
Benn lost his first meeting with Chris Eubank Jr in April 2025, then won their November rematch with two final-round knockdowns. He joined Zuffa Boxing in February 2026, beat Regis Prograis in April and challenged Ryan Garcia in September, losing by second-round technical knockout.
Beyond fight night.
Fans also see the preparation behind his performances. His training has been covered in detail by DAZN, and he appeared in Sky Sports and Matchroom’s Fighting Fit workout series.
