He was on the Bunce podcast yesterday. His accent sounds exactly like Nigel's, despite having only lived in Spain and Australia. A really enthusiastic kid but way too early to tell if he'll be any use as a pro.

Not good at all.

English level which is good but he won't do anything in the game

This is a fact as I have never been wrong!!!!!

He is going to be matched very carefully for some time I think.

Like Chavez Jr. People would not be talking about him if not for a legendary fighter.

He should be learning his trade on small hall shows out of the public eye but the Benn surname means that can not happen.

I've noticed again he has a lot of endorsement deals and he hasn't achieved anything yet.

Back shortly - had couple of niggling injuries.

He'll end up maybe on Whyte/Wach or Next Gen they are planning.

Without the dads name I suspect Connor wouldn't even be a boxer. His opponents will know the drill for a while, build the record and then cash in against someone decent who'll stand him on his head.
