Conor Benn’s life has not been easy, despite him being the son of a high-profile athlete. Born in the limelight in the UK, he was whisked away to Mallorca, Spain, before he could even witness that fame. He was raised as a devout Christian, far from the public eye, shielded from the boxing empire his father built. Yet, destiny brought him back to Essex, where he carved his own path in the sport, only for a devastating setback to nearly destroy everything. Now, on April 26, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he faces Chris Eubank Jr. for a shot at redemption.

The Destroyer‘s grit is undeniable. However, the weight of battles outside the ring cuts deeper than any punch. While he can easily walk inside the ring, his real wars have been outside of it. Thankfully, Conor Benn never stood alone. For all those battles, his wife Victoria Benn has been standing beside him.

Balancing fatherhood with the relentless demands of a boxing career has been a steep challenge for Conor. He spends most of his time in training camps, away from his family, leaving a sting of regret over all the missed moments. The pain intensified in early 2023, when a burglar broke into his house. At the time of the incident, Victoria Benn was alone at home with their two-year-old son. She instantly began screaming and shouting as the burglar fled through the scene. The incident rattled the family pretty badly, prompting them to increase their home’s security immediately.
