Benn’s manager, Keith Connolly, confirmed Benn’s blueprint recently for his return from a devastating second-round knockout loss to Ryan Garcia on September 12 in Las Vegas.

“He’ll be back in London next or the UK,” Connolly said on “The Last Stand Podcast,” hosted by Brian Custer. “We already have a plan set forth. We have a sizable comeback [purse] with a comeback-style opponent in the contract. The plan will be 160 pounds it looks like. At some point maybe after we get a win, maybe we’ll do that Chris Eubank trilogy up at 168 pounds, so that there’s no excuses about weight. I think that’ll be the plan.”

In 2025, Benn brazenly moved up roughly 10 pounds to meet his longtime rival in a 12-round, 160-pound bout. Now, in a possible third fight, Benn would seemingly move up eight pounds higher than that.

Their first bout, which took place 17 months ago at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, ended in a narrow unanimous-decision victory for Eubank. In their immediate rematch on November 15 at the same venue, Benn (25-2, 14 KOs) dropped his man twice in the final round before winning a wide decision.

Since then, however, things haven’t been ideal for Benn. The Ilford, England, native looked lackluster in a points win over Regis Prograis on April 11. He then hit rock bottom against Garcia.

This loss to Garcia marked Benn’s first fight at 147 pounds since stopping Chris Van Heerden in the second round in April 2022.

Eubank hasn’t fought since losing to Benn, but that hasn’t stopped high-profile names such as Edgar Berlanga, Hamzah Sheeraz and Kell Brook from mentioning him as a possible future opponent.

The Brighton, England, native has been relatively quiet over the last few months, though he has hinted at running things back with Benn.

In the leadup to both fights, Eubank (35-4, 25 KOs) stated that making 160 pounds and adhering to the contractually mandated 10-pound, next-day rehydration clause were painfully difficult. The 37-year-old former super middleweight title challenger missed weight in their first meeting by 0.5 pounds and paid a $500,000 penalty.

While Connolly continues to arrange Benn’s future, he knows that his fighter is being dismissed when it comes to the elite level.

However, according to his manager, just because the 29-year-old Brit came up woefully short against Garcia, doesn’t mean he won’t go on to have a fantastic career.

“Conor Benn is gonna be just fine,” Connolly said. “Remember, there are Hall-of-Fame fighters that have gotten knocked out early in fights and they’ve come back. This has happened throughout history. If you have one bad loss, it doesn’t really define your career and it doesn’t mean you can’t come back and be successful.”
