Exclusive: Former undisputed champion calls out Conor Benn for huge stadium fight
Former undisputed super lightweight champion Josh Taylor is eager to face Conor Benn if the opportunity arose.
Benn is preparing for a huge fight on Saturday, April 26 when he takes on Chris Eubank Jr live on DAZN PPV at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The contest will see Benn jump up from welterweight to middleweight to take on his rival, and it's expected that he will return back to 147lbs after the final bell in North London.
One potential foe for Benn in his welterweight return could be Taylor, and it is a contest the Scotsman labelled "a great fight".
"Yeah, absolutely. It's a big fight; it's a big name," Taylor said during an exclusive interview with DAZN News.
"We'll see obviously how he gets on against Eubank. If he wins, he might decide to stay up there and get big fights up there because there's big names at middleweight as well.
"It's a big fight. It's a great fight."
Taylor is preparing to make his welterweight debut on May 24 live on DAZN when he takes on Ekow Essuman in Glasgow.
The clash with Essuman will be Taylor's first bout in his native Scotland since 2022 and 'The Tartan Tornado' still wants to fulfil his dream of bringing a stadium fight to Hibernian's Easter Road.
When it comes to who would be a worthy dance partner if this dream is realised, Taylor touted Benn as a possibility in what would be a marquee Scotland-England matchup.
"I'd love to fight at Easter Road at Hibernian’s Stadium. I'd love to fight there and fill it out.
"A fight like Conor Benn or something like that would be amazing at Easter Road."
