For the first time in his career, Conor Benn fights in Las Vegas where he’ll headline against Peter Dobson at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on February 3. The 12-round bout, plus undercard action, will be aired by DAZN worldwide.
Benn has fought primarily in the U.K. during his career but has been forced to change course after failing two VADA drug tests that nixed a 2022 domestic showdown against Chris Eubank Jr. The 27-year-old Benn has always denied doping and hopes to fight on home soil again in the future.
“I will continue to fight and continue to shout from the rooftops and protest my innocence,” Benn said. “Some will always believe me, and some won’t. I’ve become accepting of that.
“I’m willing to spend every last penny I have to fight my innocence. Every penny I have. That’s how much this means to me. If my tests, my evidence, and my results have to be the measuring stick for fighters coming then so be it. Use my evidence because I can’t let all the money I’ve spent on this case go to waste.”
