Benn also expressed his readiness and motivation for the potential September bout. “Fingers crossed, we’re working on a date now. There’s talk about returning in September. The reality is, I’m ready to go [in] August. I stayed in the gym. While Eubank was in the hospital being a drama queen, I was back in the gym on the treadmill training. So I think I’ve got a relit fire in me.”
