This Sunday is destined to be a day in the middle of professional boxing, in addition to a joint battle between the current WBC and IBF sub-welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr. against the current WBA Superweight World Champion Yordenis Ugas, as well as sub-middleweight rookies like Connor Ben and former IBF sub-middleweight Champion Chris Hilden.
At noon on April 16, 2022, Beijing time, Connor Ben, a well-known british midweight rookie, and chris Hilden, a former IBF second-middleweight champion, held a pre-match weighing ceremony in the famous industrial city of Manchester in the United Kingdom.
During the weighing ceremony, Connor Ben was first weighed, his battle weight was 146.5 pounds, and Chris Hilden's battle weight was weighed at 145.8 pounds, and both boxers passed the weighing ceremony at once. Tomorrow morning, Connor Ben and Chris Hilden will play in Manchester, when streaming platform DAZN will broadcast it live.
Connor Ben, 25, currently has a professional record of 20 wins, including 13 KO opponents. Coming from a boxing family, his father is the former worldweight and super-middleweight boxing champion Nigel Ben, and this identity has made Connor Ben also attract attention in the sub-middleweight of the mastery. But Connor Ben needs to continue to work on becoming the world boxer at this level.
Connor Ben's opponent tomorrow, Chris Hilden, currently has a professional record of 28 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, 12 KO opponents, who have previously won the IBO and IBF sub-middleweight World Boxing Titles, but were defeated by Errol Spence Jr. in the eighth leg. In December 2020, Chris Hilden once played a match against Garon Ennis, but the match was ruled inconclusive due to Chris Hilden's injury in one leg. Chris Hilden hasn't played any games since.
After the weighing ceremony, Connor Ben was interviewed by reporters and told reporters: "I am not in the easy van Halden at tomorrow's game because he is a strong boxer, but I don't think he can withstand my blows. ”
Because Chris Hilden was the first left-handed boxer Connor Ben met in his career, there was widespread concern that Connor Ben would be hard-pressed for a bargain. But Connor Ben didn't care, and in his six-year career, Connor Ben went from a shy novice to a strong contender for the world champion, even daring to clamor to become the most profitable star of DAZN after Sur Avarez.
Connor Ben told reporters: "I feel like I was born for boxing. Now I can deliver on my promises and cope with all kinds of things. And most of the pressure of the game didn't fall on me. The fact that we're close to the goals we set six years ago has allowed me to work harder, challenge myself, and push myself. It's been six years of hard work, not just a 12-week bootcamp, and I'm confident I'm going to win. ”
