Former champion casts doubt on Conor Benn welterweight return as preferred opponent named
Conor Benn may struggle to return to welterweight in search of titles, though Carl Frampton hopes he could face Lewis Crocker if so.
The Briton takes on Chris Eubank Jr. for a second time today, having vaulted back to middleweight as he tries to avenge his defeat.
Live from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on DAZN Pay-Per-View, it marks the second time Benn has moved up two divisions this year.

The star hopes to drop back down, but speaking at Friday's weigh-in, former two-weight champion Frampton has his doubts.
"He says that, but I don't know how comfortable it will be to get down to welterweight again," he exclusively told DAZN News.
"When you've had two fights at middleweight, your body changes and it becomes harder. Maybe he's a light middleweight now."
If Benn is successful however, Frampton believes he should target a fight with the newly minted IBF champion for his belt.
"But if he does get back down, I'd love to see him face Lewis Crocker," he added "He's a world champion. The fight make sense for both."
Crocker has not fought since sealing his world title in his own rematch with Paddy Donovan in Belfast back in September.

His rival however will head to Brisbane to face Liam Paro in a final eliminator, a bout that could set up a trilogy between the pair.
Frampton believes the Irishman will return from Australia with the win, adding: "It's a really good fight. I fancy Paddy, I like his style.
"He's quality, as is Liam Paro. He didn't show in his last fight against Lewis, but I think there is a wee bit of stardust with Paddy Donovan."
