Expressing his excitement, Benn stated, “Headlining in Vegas is a dream come true for any fighter. I’m eager to face the undefeated welterweight Peter Dobson, who accepted the challenge when many wouldn’t. I’m here to make a statement and put the entire 147 division on notice.”
Peter Dobson is seizing the opportunity of a lifetime, having had previous clashes with Matchroom fighters fall through. The 33-year-old aims to disrupt Benn’s ascent and establish himself among the big names in the welterweight division. Dobson’s confidence is evident, as he declares, “Conor is coming to the US to get his ass whooped. I’ve said yes to everyone Matchroom has offered me, and now it’s Benn’s turn.”
