Benn has competed at welterweight since turning professional in 2016. The 28-year-old has rebuilt his career following a period away from the ring, with several high-profile fights discussed in recent months. A world title shot would mark the peak of his comeback campaign.

Benn's statement sets up potential negotiations with the major sanctioning bodies at 147 pounds. Any title challenge would require navigation of the current welterweight rankings. His team will need to secure the right opponent to position him for a championship opportunity.
