Benn vs van Heerden Live The welterweight, who has been defending his impeccable record against South Africa’s Chris van Heerden, plans to challenge for the world title this year.
Ben, 25, has become a big star in the past 18 months and has admitted that the prospect of a first loss scares him.
I am afraid of losing. I don’t know if I’ll handle it,” Ben told BBC Sport. If you look at the beginning of my career, I was an excited puppy in every interview. I was a kid who thought he was a man.
I’ll make a man out and I’ll be with the fairies. And now it seems I’m more emotional. Now a lot depends on my winning, people see raw emotion.

Benn vs van Heerden Live Boxing fans wants Ben (20-0, 13 KO) to fight Avnesyan (29-3-1, 17 KO) because he will be a big step up in class from the older fighters that their promoter Eddie Hearn matches him repeatedly.
A cop-out appears, and Ben said, “I will fight whatever they put before me.” In other words, Ben isn’t going to be outspoken to start matching him with his promoter Hearn against killers like the Avanesian, Jaron Ennis, or Virgil Ortiz Jr.
Benn vs van Heerden Live With Ben’s excellent money for his easy fights against old men like 34-year-old Van Heerden and 37-year-old Chris Algieri, you can’t blame him for not wanting to pressure Hearn to play. World-class protest instead of second-class shot fighters.
In a fight between the Legend and the Olympian, a gladiatorial attempt had to be made to spend time on Manny Pacquiao’s career from Yordanis Ugas. It was a fight that wasn’t supposed to happen, only to be withdrawn after Errol Spence Jr. had tears in his left eye, and despite PacMan being at the end of his days in the ring, Ugas didn’t expect trouble. him too much.
Benn vs van Heerden Live If you ask the Filipino senator, he was undone not only by his advanced years but by the convulsions that limited his movement. He described Ugas as one of the easiest opponents he faced and accused him of “having only one style”.
Yet those long jabs and sharp right arm will now test one of the great pound-for-pound active fighters in Spence Jr., already a unified champion with WBC and IBF welterweight belts.
