Weight classes are used, in a way, to prevent the sport of boxing from going into a free-for-all. Conor Benn, however, shrugged his shoulders and paid it no mind recently.

On April 26th, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Benn ditched the welterweight division and headed up to 160 pounds. Usually, Benn’s focus would be on fighters in or around his weight class but a longtime rivalry with Chris Eubank Jr. meant more to him than some world title.

But, after coming up short, his priorities might be shifting. Of course, Benn (23-1, 14 KOs) wants revenge. He refuses to believe that Eubank is the superior fighter and is determined to prove it. With that said, he likes the thought of matching up with Jaron Ennis as well.

The Ring, IBF, and WBA champion (34-0, 30 KOs) made it look easy against Eimantas Stanionis a few short weeks ago. There aren’t many fighters interested in taking him on. Benn, nevertheless, isn’t your typical fighter.

“That fight can be made,” said Benn to The Ring during a one-on-one interview. “We’re with the same promoter so that fight can be made.”

Ennis, 27, isn’t interested in facing anyone. By and large, he wants more titles and that means the division's other champions, WBO titleholder Brian Norman Jr as well as WBC titlist Mario Barrios are firmly on his radar.

Benn, if he wants, could get a look. He’s highly ranked in the welterweight sanctioning bodies but more importantly, has an ever-growing fanbase. Ultimately, the ball isn’t in Ennis' court.

Benn has time to think things through. And while he hasn’t made a final decision, nightmares of Chris Eubank Jr. laughing and smiling in his face still haunt him. Benn will have to live with the outcome of the first fight but he has an opportunity to make things right, if he wants.

“The main focus is getting the rematch done with Eubank.”
