Conor Benn Form
Conor Benn boasts a perfect 22-0 professional record with 14 wins coming by way of knockout.
Benn won the WBA continental welterweight title in his 13th fight and made several successful defences as he worked his way up the rankings.
In his first defence he beat Josef Zahradnik on points, and he backed that up by stopping Jussi Koivula in the second round and Steve Jamoye in the fourth.
The 27-year-old Londoner then stepped up the level of opposition and was able to outpoint former world champion Sebastian Formella in November 2020.
Benn followed that up by knocking out Samuel Vargas in just 80 seconds in what many thought pre-fight would be his toughest test to day.
He beat Adrian Granados on points in his next outing, and then took down two former world champions, knocking out Chris Algieri in the fourth and Chris van Heerden in the second.
That set up a blockbuster fight with Chris Eubank Jr in late 2022, but the bout was cancelled when Benn failed a drug test and he did not fight again for a year and a half.
When he did return last September, ‘The Destroyer’ picked up from where he left off by beating Rodolfo Orozco by unanimous decision.
Peter Dobson Form
Peter Dobson has compiled a perfect 16-0 professional record with nine of his wins coming via knockout.
Dobson has spent his career fighting on minor boxing cards across the United States and has no notable names on his record.
This will be the 33-year-old’s first fight since he beat Rodrigo Damian Coria on points back in June 2022.
His last stoppage win came in August 2021 when he knocked out Andres Viera in the fifth round of their six-round bout.
