Connor Benn is set to step into the ring once again in April – with Robert Guerrero and Maurice Hooker robbed as opponents.
The welterweight is eyeing a potential clash with American badboy Adrian Broner.

But promoter Eddie Hearn has other options if that fight can’t be put up.
He told DAZN: “(Connor) will be out in April and we’re just finalizing his fight
“We would have liked Bronner’s fight but we have to see.
“I like Robert Guerrero, I like Maurice Hooker. I love all kinds of fights like this because they name us with profiles and they’re the perfect test.”
Broner’s once illustrious boxing career has been plagued by legal and personal problems away from the ring.
But the four-weight world champion – and the tutelage of Floyd Mayweather – remains a prominent name in the sport, the skull of which Ben would like on his record.
Hearn said: “I’ve talked to Broner and ideally he’d like a fight before he can fight Connor because he’s on this crusade of seriousness, can you believe it?

“He wants to make one last run on him and that means getting Connor ready for the fight.
“He insists he is ready to fight Conor Ben, but he wants a warm-up fight in March, if possible.”
Guerrero, 38, is the two-weight world champion, having defeated Mayweather, Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman throughout 12 rounds.
Hooker is a former WBO champion who most recently lost to in-form youngster Virgil Ortiz Jr.
