Connolly feels there is more money in a fight against Tank Davis. Benn’s promoter Hearn pushed for a bout against middleweight Chris Eubank Jr., believing the fight would bring in more revenue than a match against WBC 147-lb champion Barrios. However, he does not see the big money pick that Benn can make if he can capture the WBC belt. “The Conor Benn, Chris Eubank fight doesn’t seem to happen next. My plan is to talk to Eddie Hearn this week to continue with the negotiations for Conor to fight Mario Barrios next, then target a big PPV event in America against to Gervonta Davis. However, there is more money in the Gervonta Davis fight than Conor,” Connolly told Mike Coppinger in X. A fight between Benn and Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KOs) would be huge in 2025 and would attract worldwide interest. If Benn chooses Eubank Jr, this would only interest fans in the UK market, leaving out the rest of the world, who don’t value Chris.
