Conor Benn: A Look Back at His Last 3 Fights

Peter Dobson

Benn’s only fight in 2024 was against Peter Dobson (16-2, 9 KOs). Due to a ban on the second-generation boxer from fighting in the United Kingdom after testing positive for a banned substance, this bout wound up taking place in Las Vegas, NV. Scheduled for 12 rounds and with both fighters having weighed 150.5 lbs at the weigh-in, Benn would end up winning via unanimous decision.

The Englishman adopted an aggressive approach in the early rounds, walking towards his opponent to land hooks. Towards the end of the third, Dobson started to show more intent and was landing clean right hands. Throughout the fight, he would stay within close range of Benn but was not as active as “The Destroyer.” In the end, what separated the two was the greater volume of punches from Benn, who won with scores of 119-109 and 118-110 (x2).

Rodolfo Orozco

Benn’s only fight of 2023 also took place in the United States due to his ban from fighting in the United Kingdom. This time, he faced Rodolfo Orozco (33-4-3, 25 KOs) in Orlando, FL. The bout, scheduled for 10 rounds in the super welterweight division, was won by Benn via unanimous decision.

Chris van Heerden

When Benn knocked out Chris van Heerden (28-3-1, 12 KOs, 1 NC) in 2022, it would end up being his last fight in the United Kingdom for at least another three years. Though it was scheduled for 12 rounds, this welterweight clash was over within six minutes after the first bell had struck. Benn won via technical knockout.
