A fight between Conor Benn and Kell Brook is unlikely to happen and there could be ten million reasons why.
The number relates to the price Brook wants to pay for the British up-and-coming star, according to Eddie Hearn, Benn’s promoter.
And Benn told Boxing Social’s Ayman Khan this week that rather than wait for competitive talks, he has decided to continue his career and face Chris Van Heerden on April 16.
“10 million pounds, silly,” said Benn
“Even if you halve [it’s] more realistic but when you’re saying £10 million it’s like okay, I know you’re looking for that final payment. But at the end of the day, even though there are negotiations going on, I am not going to delay my career. We can’t wait to see if we can negotiate closer and get the Brook fight to happen or take place on April 16 against Van Heerden. I said I’m not waiting for anyone. “
