Cutting that last bit of weight presents a test Benn hasn’t dealt with in years. “Conor has not boxed at 147 for four years,” Duke McKenzie said to talkSPORT Boxing. “When you’re trying to make weight, and you have to drag to make weight, it takes away your A-game.” McKenzie believes the problem won’t disappear simply because Benn can rehydrate after stepping on the scale. “I don’t think Conor Benn’s going to be physically strong enough because I think he’d be weight drained,” McKenzie said. “Even if you’re eating all night long, there’s still only so much weight you can…

Moses Itauma has the opportunity to win the IBF heavyweight title against Filip Hrgovic on August 29, but simply collecting the belt isn’t the most interesting part. Stopping Hrgovic would give the 21-year-old a more impressive first championship win than Anthony Joshua managed against Charles Martin. Joshua dispatched Martin in two rounds in April 2016 to capture the IBF title. The result looked spectacular, but Martin was hardly an established champion. He had won the vacant belt less than three months earlier when Vyacheslav Glazkov suffered a knee injury and was unable to continue in the third round. Martin never…

He regularly demonstrated his passing ability,…
