Eddie Hearn Reveals “An Incredible Commission to Apply For” Conor Benn’s License

Eddie Hearn is hopeful about finding a commission where Conor Benn can apply for a license and revive his journey in boxing. He strictly believes Benn’s next fight will be staged in America and thus looks for an American commission to help revive Benn’s career in professional boxing. In his latest interview, the chairman of Matchroom Sports disclosed “an incredible commission” where Benn could apply for a license.

Eddie Hearn believed America and Australia were the two possible and relevant countries that could witness Conor Benn’s return to the ring. In fact, Hearn assured “preliminary talks with US commissions” in public. In his latest declaration, however, Hearn spoke about a particular commission he shared both history and relationship with.

A boxing source called EverythingBoxing took to Twitter and shared the brief clip. On being asked if Hearn had any interest in the commission in Texas, the promoter replied in affirmative. In fact, Hearn talked about the relationship he shared with the commission in Texas that helped him stage two of Canelo Alvarez’s fights in boxing. In his opinion, the commission in Texas is both fair and strict.

“Yeah, absolutely. Texas is arguably one of the best commissions in world boxing but definitely in America. We’ve done a number of fights here. We’ve done Canelo Alvarez fights here. Two of them. They’ve been outstanding every time. They’ve been fair but they’ve been strict,” stated Hearn eagerly hoping to see Benn back in the ring. Benn, who held a British license recently looked forward to squaring off against Chris Eubank Jr. in June 2023 in Abu Dhabi. However, the general secretary of BBBofC warned Benn and his team about a possible fine and even withdrawal of their license if they went to Abu Dhabi without the approval of BBBofC.

However, Hearn is determined to see Benn return to boxing. Speaking of a license in Texas, he emphasized the “great relationship” he shared with the commission. “We have a great relationship with them. So, eventually, when we’re looking at licenses for Conor Benn, it should be an incredible commission to apply for one,” he concluded.
