When Khan entered the ring all he said was, “I’m here to enjoy boxing. I’m a fan. I’m here to support him. “Right now I spend time with my family, but who knows. “If I come back, then we can see where we are going from there. “He is a young and hungry lion.” Just four months after crushing Chris Algieri with a ruthless one-two combination, Benn used the same attack to destroy Van Heerden. The South African was expected to be uncomfortable and frustrated for Ben in his first fight against a southern foot. But, on the contrary, he seemed happy to stand and exchange powerful shots which he had little chance of surviving.

Ben said: “People thought a southern leg might be a problem, but I’ll beat anyone in front of me. I continue to silence the critics, I will beat southern legs, boxers and buns. “I’m going to have Brooke or Kahn, but I do not think they like it. So I will push for world titles. “I respect Amir, he was the best of his time. The match would be idols for the opponents “. 3 Conor Benn and supporter Eddie Hearn will aim for a huge fight next Credit: PA
