BRUTAL BENN FOLLOWS IN FATHER’S FOOTSTEPS

CONOR BENN, son of legend Nigel, was destructive as he stopped Nathan Clarke in the first round at Manchester Arena. The 21-year-old continued his unbeaten streak and claimed his seventh stoppage in nine pro fights when the referee halted the bout after two knockdowns.
