Tottenham, Las Vegas, Los Angeles: Where could Conor Benn battle for WBC welterweight crown?

Conor Benn hopes to challenge for a welterweight world title in 2026, as the star aims to build off the back of a blockbuster year in the sport.

The star played out a hyped duology with rival Chris Eubank Jr. at middleweight, vaulting multiple divisions to settle the score with his foe.

Though edged the first time last April, Benn returned in superior fashion to sweep their second clash by unanimous decision in November.

That has set him on a path towards silverware, with the star currently ranked number one by the WBC, beneath champion Mario Barrios.

As mandatory challenger, Benn expects to face the star or rival Ryan Garcia, with the latter pair booked for a February fight in Las Vegas.

That suggests a likely early summer dance for the star unless he takes a short notice tune-up - but just where might he take the fight on?

Here, DAZN News profiles some of the options for a potential WBC welterweight title fight as Benn aims to enter the history books.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has made no secret that he wants to secure the biggest nights for one of his star men in 2026.

After two highly successful visits to North London in 2025, there may be a temptation to stick with a tried-and-tested stadium venue too.

As one of the newest venues in the United Kingdom, the Premier League outfit's home is no stranger to hosting major sporting events.

Some will float questions on whether Benn has the star wattage to fill it to capacity without the draw of a domestic rival to dance with.

But the carrot of a world title fight would surely be enough to juice additional interest and help make it a raucous home fortress for the star.

T-Mobile Arena

Of course, Benn will be the challenger in any bout, which may mean a trip into opposition territory awaits him for his next step up the ladder.

That could well ensure the bright lights of Las Vegas are in his future, with Barrios and Garcia already set to make Sin City their next stop.

The T-Mobile Arena has seen plenty of big fights over the years, with Canelo Alvarez in particular making the Nevada venue a handy home.

As the destination for the WBC's next title fight, the governing body may well opt to see if they can secure an immediate return visit for Benn.

Should the Briton head overseas, he will bid to emulate several of his fellow countryman who have taken major world titles on American soil.

The biggest indoor arena in the United Kingdom is fast becoming a destination for boxing fans, with plenty of bouts held since it opened in 2024.

Moses Itauma is due to headline Queensberry Promotions' latest The Magnificent Seven card in March, and there will be more in the pipeline.

While away from the London stronghold that Benn has been accustomed to in recent fights, both he and Hearn know the advantage of a move.

Several British fighters tour the major cities across their career, building up their fanbases, and this would be no different for his latest test.

A smaller-scale venue compared to a stadium could also create a bubbling atmosphere that Benn may harness to help secure home advantage.

This may be a dance decided by the result of Barrios and Garcia, with the latter having built his early career in Mexico and California to success.

If he takes the belt from his rival, then a state homecoming at the popular Los Angeles venue where he beat Jayson Vélez in 2018 could figure.

There's been some great fights at the stadium of MLS heavyweights LA Galaxy down the years, but one may spring to mind for British fight fans.

It was here that Kell Brook arrived as a heavy underdog and outboxed Shawn Porter to become IBF welterweight champion way back in 2014.

For Benn, the chance to echo history could prove to be a highly tempting draw, with a strong crowd very likely to turn up to support Garcia as well.
