Former olympic gold medallist willing to come out of retirement to face Conor Benn: “That excites me”

Former Olympic gold medallist Luke Campbell has expressed interest in coming out of retirement to fight Conor Benn. Campbell revealed to Seconds Out that a potential bout with Benn is one of the few matchups that would excite him and renew his competitive drive. Benn is currently looking for his next opponent after suffering a second-round stoppage defeat against Ryan Garcia in a WBC welterweight title clash in Las Vegas.

Benn has expressed a desire to move up to the middleweight or super-middleweight divisions, where a trilogy fight with Chris Eubank Jr remains a possibility. Campbell, who previously challenged for world titles against Jorge Linares and Vasyl Lomachenko, retired after a stoppage loss to Ryan Garcia but is open to returning for a marketable clash with Benn.
