Conor Benn vs Sebastian Formella DAZN

Conor Benn (16-0, 11 KOs) isn't fazed by the prospect of ending a year-long absence from the ring with his most challenging opponent to date: Germany's Sebastian Formella (22-1, 10 KOs).

Benn is one of many professional boxers whose time away from the ring will go past the 12-month mark thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moving closer towards eventual world championship contention in the welterweight division would have no doubt been on the cards by now if not for the lockdown, but Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has been forced to bring back many of his rising stars, including recent example Joshua Buatsi, with a very tough contest right out of the gate.
