Conor Benn Backs Lomachenko Over Davis in Potential Bout

Conor Benn, a professional boxer, expressed his belief that Vasiliy Lomachenko would defeat Gervonta Davis if they were to face each other. This statement follows Lomachenko's surprising announcement of his return to boxing after a retirement in 2025, during which he achieved 18 wins and three losses.

Lomachenko had previously retired after reclaiming the lightweight world title with a knockout victory over George Kambosos. His return could lead to a highly anticipated fight against American champion Gervonta Davis.

Benn indicated his support for Lomachenko when asked who he would bet on, noting that Davis has not performed at his best since a controversial draw against Lamont Roach in March 2025. Although a Lomachenko vs.

Davis bout is not expected soon, Lomachenko is reportedly considering a move down to the super-featherweight division to challenge Emanuel Navarrete, the unified WBO and WBA world champion, in his comeback fight.
