It’s been tough. Facing my first defeat, coming back from adversity. These are things you have to do. As a man, you go through things in life and you don’t know why.<\/p>Conor Benn<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But you just have to keep fighting. Staying in shape, staying in shape when you really don’t want to show up.<\/p>Conor Benn<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Facing your own demons every day, that’s the hardest fight in reality. Getting in the ring for 36 minutes is not a problem.<\/p>Conor Benn<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nIn 2022, before the original fight scheduled against Eubank Jr., Benn failed two drug tests. Subsequently, he was authorized to fight again in the UK in 2024, but acknowledged having had suicidal thoughts during the intervening two years.\n\nThe 29-year-old boxer dedicated the victory to his friends and family, who supported him during that time.\n\n\n

There are a lot of people in the locker room who were there for me in those moments, who gave me advice. Ultimately, I couldn’t do it alone. I wasn’t strong enough to do it alone.<\/p>Conor Benn<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I had good support people around [who] helped me carry the burden. The people in that room, the victory is for them. Each and every one of us because when I was down, we were all down. And when I’m doing well, we’re all doing well.<\/p>Conor Benn<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn’t be the man I am, I wouldn’t be the fighter I am without my team.<\/p>Conor Benn<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
