CONOR BENN is preparing for just his ninth professional fight when he takes on Nathan Clarke in Manchester on Saturday night.
The unbeaten welterweight has cruised through all his fights so far and is catching the eye for his punching power and skill.
And as the son of a former champ, he’ll have valuable advice in his corner come the bell at the Manchester Arena.
Who is Conor Benn?
THE SON of two-weight champion Nigel Benn, Conor is quickly establishing himself as a fine fighter in his own right.
He made his professional debut in April 2016 at The O2, defeating Bulgarian Ivailo Boyanov by TKO in the first round.
After six more wins, he took a bit of time out at the end of 2016 to recover from injuries and came back earlier this year, crushing Mike Cole and Kane Baker – both within 3 rounds.
How old is he?
BENN was born on September 28, 1996, and is just 21 years old.
He made his professional debut against Boyanov at 19 – but defied his years with a clinical performance of maturity and power.
What is his record?
AFTER a sparkling start to his pro career, Benn sits on 8-0 going into his fight with Clarke.
Of those eight fights, six have ended by way of knockout.
