Golovkin vs Brook undercard: Conor Benn convinced he can be world champion 'one day' ahead of Silvije Kebet fight

1/5
Sam Long7 September 2016

As the son of a two-weight world champion Conor Benn has, unsurprisingly, set his sights high.

The 19-year-old has made a bright start to his professional boxing career, courtesy of three victories from his his first three fights, and is already striving for more.

Benn's fourth bout takes place on the undercard of Gennady Golovkin's clash with Kell Brook at London's O2 Arena this weekend and The Dark Destroyer's offspring will be expected to extend his unbeaten record at the expense of Silvije Kebet.

Benn has agreed a deal to become a Reebok ambassador and is adamant he has what it takes to be fighting at the top end of the bill in the future.

"I know I have the talent and dedication to make it to world champion one day, and I’m looking forward to sharing this journey with Reebok," Benn insisted.

“My preparation in and out of the ring is hugely important to me and I’m delighted to find a partner in Reebok who take fitness as seriously as I do.

"Reebok’s commitment to providing training and fitness gear of the highest quality makes me hugely excited for this partnership, and it was crucial for me and my team to find a brand who share my aspirations as a boxer," the super lightweight added.

If the formative steps he has taken thus far are anything to go by, it could be quite a journey.

Saturday's fight will be the first of Benn's two outings this month as he will also be back in the ring on September 24.
