Denzel Bentley, the WBO world champion at 160lbs, is open to fighting Benn.

Conor Benn suffered a devastating two-round knockout loss to Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas when challenging for the WBC welterweight world title. Following the defeat, WBO 160lb world champion Denzel Bentley has offered Benn the chance to 'skip the queue' for a middleweight title shot if he returns to the division. Benn had previously fought at middleweight against Chris Eubank Jr twice before dropping down to welterweight for the Garcia fight.
