Eddie Hearn lifts the lid on his plans to line up Conor Benn with a 'big name' next year with Adrien Broner, Robert Guerrero and the retired Shawn Porter options... as promoter admits David Avanesyan match-up is 'not going to fill arenas'

Eddie Hearn has revealed his plans to line up a 'big name' for Conor Benn next as the boxing promoter insisted 'everyone' wants to fight the welterweight talent.

Benn, 25, is on the hunt for the welterweight title and displayed his championship credentials with a sensational knockout win over Chris Algieri in Liverpool earlier this month.

There are high hopes that Benn - son of boxing legend Nigel Benn - can become the next world champion from Britain in 2022, with Hearn confident that his man can triumph in a welterweight division brimming with talent.
