He hasn't fought since last July?
Promotional issues? Injury?
While we have seen his limitations, he is still very marketable and fan friendly

I’m not sure limited skill and championship potential can be called an injury

Everyone who saw Paynaud #1 thought Benn lost. I give Benn some credit for revisiting it, he didn't have to.

For something like a British title fight the champs would be queuing up to fight him. PPV, big money and a straightforward fight at that level.
It's a payday Garton has lost, would they risk Benn against Jenkins?
Also with Conor's style, a one sided beatdown would be career ending.
It will be tough to match Benn now, he has already gone through his diet of journeyman and got the WBA strap. They can't keep feeding him journeymen and he struggled against a higher level journeyman.
I think domestic title level is much too dangerous for him.
I guess some unknown, African, Eastern Euro and South Americans will be next defeating the WBA strap.
Then it will be seen if he can move up a level without losing. He is still only 22 with no amateur experience.

Conor was at ringside to see the other Benn that no one cares about box last night.

I wonder what level of opponent they will give him?
And will it be for the WBA strap?
In fairness he puts bums on seats and not just because who his dad is.
He is of Dave Allens level, but prob not as resilient

I think it's for the international title which Benn holds.

Pretty sure he was being lined up to fight on fight camp but didn't want to fight on a card with no crowd - Mistake I would say.

Getting more tattoos? A new beard transplant?
There's surely no room left on his body to tattoo?
