Is Devin Haney Being Pathetic? Conor Benn Claps Back at Disrespectful Remarks

Devin Haney, the WBC super lightweight champion, recently threw a verbal jab that’s caused quite a stir. “Get off my d**k,” he declared, aimed at Conor Benn. But why such raw words from Haney? Is this usual for the polished champion? Benn, known for his fiery spirit, didn’t shy away from clapping back.

His response? A blend of disbelief and challenge. But what exactly did Benn say? And why is Haney, usually more controlled, suddenly in the verbal ring with such gusto?

Conor Benn isn’t Kambosos!

During a candid interview with Boxing Social, Conor Benn addressed Devin Haney’s blunt remarks head-on. This confrontation illuminates the raw undercurrents often present in the world of professional boxing. Benn, reflecting on a potential matchup in the UK, expressed his initial thoughts. “Haney started piping up, being disrespectful. He ain’t even like that, he’s like, he ain’t even that kid,“ he said, setting the stage for a deeper reveal.

The interviewer, sensing the gravity of Benn’s words, probed further, “Did he say something disrespectful to you? I didn’t hear that, what did he say?”  Benn didn’t hesitate, quoting Haney’s exact words: “He said get off my d**k and all that.” The direct quote, raw and unfiltered, starkly contrasts with Haney’s usual public persona.

Benn’s reaction was swift and pointed. “You’re not even that guy, just stop. Stop the cap bro. It’s pathetic, I ain’t Kambosos bro. Just stop all that, but that is how I felt about it. Don’t be talking like that, you ain’t that guy.” These words, charged with emotion, not only rebuked Haney’s comments but also underlined Benn’s own standing in the boxing world.

What began as a potential discussion about a future fight evolved into a significant insight into the mental and emotional dynamics of professional boxing. In the same interview he also talked about his quest for future fights.

A journey through frustration and ambition

Conor Benn openly expresses his frustration and ambition in a quest for high-profile fights. Despite setbacks, including a drug controversy, Benn remains a confident contender. “I’m a promoter’s dream. What more do you want me to do? I’m the most wanted man in Britain, the most wanted man in the welterweight division,” he asserts.

Promoted by Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, Benn’s determination is palpable as he eyes a February bout against Peter Dobson at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. “I ain’t fought for a year and a half, I’m still there, still top of people’s tongue,” Benn remarks, underscoring his readiness to take on big names like Devin Haney, Kell Brook, and Gervonta Davis. This upcoming fight is seen not just as a comeback but a gateway to the elite circles of boxing he eagerly seeks to rejoin.
