[Conor Benn bolstered his case for a world title shot
by stopping Chris van Heerden inside two rounds
at Manchester’s AO Arena.

Benn had been expected to dispose of the experienced
South African after producing some impressive
performances over the last 18 months.]

[The 25-year-old welterweight duly delivered by taking
out Van Heerden inside four minutes to
extend his unblemished record to 21-0.

“It’s easy money. It’s violent money but it’s easy money,”
Benn, the son of former middleweight and
super-middleweight world champion Nigel,
told BBC Radio 5 Live after his quickfire win.

“This is what I do. I love it. They can put me
in there with King Kong, I’m not really fazed.

“I’ll back it up every single time. I knew
I was going to knock him out, it was just a matter of time.”]
