On Saturday night at the Copper Box Arena in London, rising welterweight Conor Benn (18-0, 12 KOs) made a big statement by blowing out veteran Samuel Vargas (31-7-2, 14 KOs) in one round.

Conor Benn is eyeing a huge domestic clash with Amir Khan or Kell Brook should he get past Samuel Vargas on Saturday April 10, but 'The Destroyer' insists there is no chance of him overlooking the Canadian-Colombian warrior as he puts his WBA Continental Title on the line once more, live on Sky Sports in the UK and on DAZN in the U.S. and more than 200 countries and territories.
An all-British battle between Amir Khan and Kell Brook might finally materialize — albeit far too late — if one of the boxers gets his wish. Khan (34-5, 21 KOs) and Brook (39-3 27 KOs) are both 34-year-old fading former world champions who are both fighting past their prime.
