God. I'm still nursing a hangover from watching that absolute war at Tottenham last month. Benn and Eubank Jr literally tried to murder each other for 12 rounds, and I was screaming myself hoarse from my living room at 1am while my neighbor banged on teh wall.

Conor Benn isn't wasting any time licking his wounds after that razor-thin decision loss to Eubank Jr. The 28-year-old welterweight-turned-middleweight contender is already plotting his next move – and he's got a spicy backup plan if the rematch doesn't materialize.

When Plan A Goes to Hell...

Let's be real. That rematch clause they signed might end up being worth less than the paper it's printed on. Eubank nearly killed himself making that 160lb limit (which he still managed to miss, by the way). My buddy who works security at the venue said Eubank looked like a walking corpse at the weigh-in, practically transparent. Poor guy.

So what's Benn's Plan B? None other than boxing's most controversial figure right now – Ryan Garcia.

"If it's not Eubank next, it's Garcia next. I'll drop back down to 147lbs and go straight back in," Benn declared with that trademark intensity that reminds me why I both love and fear this dude.

And he's not wrong about being more dangerous at welterweight. I watched his knockout reel back in 2018 after dropping $80 on his pay-per-view, and the difference in power is like comparing a sledgehammer to a pool noodle.

The Weight Game Nobody's Talking About

Benn made a fascinating point about weight classes that most casual fans miss.

"At 147lbs, that's where I'm the most dangerous. That's where you see the clinical knockouts," he explained. "The 154s, the 160s, seem to absorb the shots better."

He's right. I remember texting my boxing coach during round 8 when Benn rocked Eubank with that overhand right. "HE'S GONNA FINISH HIM!" I typed frantically. His response: "Middleweights don't go down easy."

Benn clearly feels the same frustration. "No doubt I had Eubank hurt at 160lbs four or five times in the fight. I just couldn't get the finish, I just couldn't pull the trigger. At 147lbs, it's a different ball game."

Wait... is Benn actually JEALOUS?

There's something deliciously petty about the way Benn dismissed Eubank's newfound national hero status. After years of being the villain, Eubank Jr has somehow transformed into Britain's golden boy overnight.

When asked about this dramatic public perception shift, Benn couldn't hide his contempt.

"He's good at getting the sympathy vote, let him get it. Let him get it!"

You could practically see the vein popping in his forehead. This rivalry runs deeper than boxing – it's personal, generational, and absolutely fascinating to watch unfold.

The Chilling Promise

If you thought Benn was going to be humble after that loss... well, you don't know Conor Benn.

The most spine-tingling moment came when he essentially promised destruction in a potential rematch. "All I know is he got rocked four or five times by a welterweight," Benn said, almost smirking.

"More fool me, I should've pulled the trigger and got the stoppage. I won't let that happen next time. I'll pull the trigger and I'll make sure when I shoot, I won't miss."

Like a hitman casually discussing his next assignment.

Bouncing Back Like Nothing Happened

The craziest part? This man fought in one of the most brutal fights of the year less than a week ago and is already chomping at the bit to get back in there.

"I'm ready, I'm healed and I'm recovered," he insists. "I feel rejuvenated, I feel the energy and I feel alive. I'm ready to just go again."

Meanwhile I'm still sore from my 20-minute workout on Tuesday. Fighters are just built different.

Whether it's the Eubank rematch or a showdown with Ryan Garcia, one thing's clear – Conor Benn isn't going anywhere. And honestly? Boxing is better for it.
