Watch Benn vs. Granados only on DAZN
Conor Benn was left absolutely devastated after testing positive for COVID-19 and having to postpone his July 31 fight against Adrian Granados.
Well, Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn vowed to be working on a new date to reschedule the fight and now we have it. Benn vs. Granados has been rescheduled to Sept. 4, joining a massive card which includes Josh Warrington vs. Mauricio Lara in a featherweight rematch and Katie Taylor putting her undisputed lightweight titles on the line against Jennifer Han. It will all take place from the Emerald Headingley Stadium in Leeds, England.
Benn, a face of the British boxing future, upped his stock in a major way after a first-round destruction of Samuel Vargas in April to improve to 18-0 with 12 knockouts.
The surging 24-year-old will certainly be tested by a veteran like Granados who has been in tilts with former world champions such as Shawn Porter, Adrien Broner and Danny Garcia.
Though Granados (21-8-3 with 15 KOs, 1 No Contest) wasn't able to defeat any of those aforementioned fighters, he'll use that ring experience against Benn, who is seven years his junior.
