Conor Benn faces the toughest test of his career so far when he battles Adrian Granados in the undercard of Josh Warrington’s rematch against Mauricio Lara on Saturday.
Benn was originally supposed to be the star of Matchroom Fight Camp, but was forced to postpone his return to the ring after testing positive at Covid-19.
Granados, an experienced competitor who shared the ring with the likes of Adrien Broner and Danny Garcia, represents another level step after Benn’s spectacular first-round knockout over Samuel Vargas in April.
The Briton is undefeated in 18 professional bouts and is aiming for a world title bout next year in the stacked welterweight division.
Still on paper, Katie Taylor defends her undisputed lightweight title against Jennifer Han. Here’s everything you need to know:
When is the fight and what time will it start?
The main card starts at 7pm, with Ebanie Bridges vs Mailys Gangloff kicking things off, Jovanni Straffon and Maxi Hughes are next, before Conor Benn takes the ring with Granados, so we can expect The Destroyer to be in the ring after 8pm, while Katie Taylor will face Jennifer Han, which is expected to start around 9pm. Although DAZN stated that the main event should start “about two hours later” after the main card starts at 7pm, so Taylor may be in action sooner. Despite DAZN’s intention to show their main events earlier than usual, Josh Warrington vs Mauricio Lara will likely start closer to 10pm.

What did the fighters say?
Benn: “I don’t have a message for Granados. I do not. There is nothing to say. I let my fists do the talking. Everything that has been said on both sides has been said now. At the end of the day the promo is done. All that’s left to do now is fight, and September 4th will be faced with one hell of a fight. I know it will bring it – but it keeps me going. Let’s get it!
“He’s tough and enduring, the only person who can stop him is Danny Garcia. He won the fight against Adrian Broner. He gave Shawn Porter hell. He fought Robert Easter Jr. He’s been with the best guys, but he’s with another great guy. I just want to fight now. I just want to get in there now. “
