Conor Benn lifts lid on Gervonta Davis fight talks as Oscar De La Hoya raises concerns DAZNConor Benn claims a \u2018serious offer\u2019 has been made to Gervonta Davis as social media trash talk between the pair continues. Benn recorded an unconvincing points victory over Peter Dobson in Las Vegas earlier this month and talk of a follow-up bout with Davis has gathered pace in recent days. Eddie Hearn has sent an official offer to Davis and Benn claims it would see \u2018Tank\u2019 earn between $10million and $15million depending on sales. \u2018Let\u2019s see if he\u2019s all talk\u2019 \u201cI know a serious offer\u2019s been made, let\u2019s see if he\u2019s all talk,\u201d Benn said. \u201cThe talking\u2019s done. Don\u2019t pipe up and start running your mouth on Twitter and then not sign the contract. \u201cIf I\u2019m easy work then no problem, sign the contract. Do I think that fight gets made? Listen, I\u2019ll agree to fight anyone. \u201cIf $10million, $11million, $12million, $13million, $14million, $15million ain\u2019t enough, then stay quiet, stay at your house with your little tag on your ankle. \u201cIt\u2019s cool, run your mouth on Twitter, I\u2019m not really that guy for social media and all that. But if you want to run your mouth then I\u2019ll fight you no problem. \u201cYou\u2019re telling me $10million to $15million ain\u2019t enough to fight me? If that ain\u2019t enough, then keep doing what you\u2019re doing.\u201d Meanwhile, boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya raised concerns over the natural weight difference between the two fighters, with the pair separated by two weight classes. De La Hoya said: \u201cIsn\u2019t Conor Benn [up at] 147lbs and fought at 154lbs? And Gervonta is 135\/140lbs? Guys, there are weight-classes for a reason. Look, Gervonta Davis is the better fighter, he is the better fighter but Conor Benn is good too. \u201cWhen you have a bigger good guy against a littler good guy, the bigger guy is always going to win, it is in the history of the sport. \u201cI don\u2019t know how talented Conor Benn is, I haven\u2019t paid too much attention to him, all I kept hearing is that his punching power is gone for some reason.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
