Conor Benn targets Jose Ramirez and Keith Thurman after Kell Brook and Amir Khan retire from boxing
Conor Benn has turned his attention to fights against former unified champions Jose Ramirez and Keith Thurman after British boxing legends Kell Brook and Amir Khan recently announced their respective retirements.
Benn is confident he will handle Ramirez before moving on to face Thurman, who previously held the WBA welterweight title from 2015 to 2019, and the WBC title from 2017 to 2018. “It is a shame that there’s nothing on the line for the Ramirez fight considering his last fight was for the undisputed, unification.Benn insists he has nothing but respect for Brook and Khan, as well as their decision to call it a career rather than face him.
“They’ve achieved everything they’ve wanted to achieve in the sport of boxing, everything a young fighter can dream of achieving. Listen, I take my hat off to them. They’re the best of their era in terms of British welterweight boxing.”
