Conor Benn and Kell Brook clashed at the ringside of Katie Taylor vs. Chantelle Cameron in Dublin. The incident led Benn to issue Kell Brook a “death wish” warning. According to Benn, if Kell Brook desires to fight him it will be his death wish. In his opinion, Brook, 37, should stay retired. However, if he squared off against Benn disregarding Benn’s advice, ‘The Destroyer’ would “beat them easy”.

At the ringside, Brook laid his hands on Benn and pushed the same with all his might. Following the incident, Benn announced that it was now personal “when you lay your hands on me like that”. Having said that, Benn expressed his desire to handle it inside the boxing ring. Although he wanted to fight Brook two years ago, he feels he has been reignited.
