Although \u2018The Destroyer\u2019 is fresh off the back of a career-best performance and victory, it looks like two huge fights have evaded him already.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/chris-eubank-jr-vs-conor-benn-2-ticket-sales-struggle\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eubank Jr vs Benn 2 ticket sales<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> struggled for their rematch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the 29-year-old was still able to get revenge over his fierce rival whilst becoming the first Benn to beat a Eubank in the process too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the aftermath of the Eubank Jr rematch, Benn was quick to call out a whole host of big names for his next fight. This included WBC 147-pound king Barrios, as well as Garcia and other welterweight fighters like Devin Haney and Brian Norman Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Your heads next then.<br \/>We can run it here in a stadium \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 <br \/>I\u2019m the money man.

Timeline wise it works too, with Benn able to rest until Christmas before a potential world title clash with the Northern Irishman in March or April of next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018The Croc\u2019 has been vocal about wanting to face Benn next, insisting that a fight between the pair could be the \u2018biggest fight in the UK right now\u2019. Crocker is baffled as to why the fight hasn\u2019t been mentioned by Eddie Hearn yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Benn is passing up on Lewis Crocker\u2019s IBF title \u2014 despite Crocker just winning the belt \u2014 because Benn\u2019s eyes are set on a different prize.<br \/>\u201cCrocker ain\u2019t the target\u2026The WBC world title is the belt I want.\u201d<br \/>He says he\u2019ll drop back to welterweight to chase what his dad once held. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x9bqqCW4WM\">pic.twitter.com\/x9bqqCW4WM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FTTV Boxing (@FTTVBoxing) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FTTVBoxing\/status\/1990412106475192581?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Brian Norman Jr<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another fight that makes sense for Conor Benn next is a fight with undefeated American Brian Norman Jr for his WBO World Welterweight Title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, Benn has made it abundantly clear that he will return to welterweight for his next fight, and has also insisted he will challenge for world honours next.
