Conor Benn will hold his unbeaten record and the WBA Continental Welterweight title on the line on Saturday. The pair will attend the main event at Manchester's AO Arena as boxing icon Nigel's son Benn tries to get closer to the marquee matchup at 147lbs.


The last time Benn, 25, stopped Chris Algieri in the fourth round was in November, improving his record to 20-0 (13 knockouts).


Van Harden, meanwhile, fought without a fight against Jaron Ennis, who was accidentally beheaded by a headbutt. The match took place in December 2020, so 32-year-old Van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 KOs) will probably have to overcome some rust as well as opposing fans if he is to beat Ben.
