Khan was a mismatch for Benn before being smashed up by Brook - even more so now. Khan is probably equally or more washed up than Van Heerden - so this potential fight is an absolute waste of time.
Having watched Benn on undercards the past few years I’ll admit I couldn’t see this coming; he’s developed into a true world class fighter. It’s impressive to watch his last 3-4 fights and see the maturation.
As for a Khan fight, that’s just Eddie not having access to the top 147guys, and needing to keep Connor happy with a fat payday. The match up is horrendous and should be called out as such. Dan, this is your substack… you don’t have to just report the news here! Call bullshit on this and beat that drum so the very idea gets drown out by the press who promise to shit all over it. It would be an embarrassment for the sport.

Another pretend step up for Benn 😐
