Benn returns to action this coming Saturday when he takes on Peter Dobson in Las Vegas and his British fans will be able to watch the contest without having to stay up into the early hours of Sunday morning. 

However, while Benn is keeping active after a year out the ring, there is an eagerness to see the rising welterweight star back in the UK, but there will be no update until an appeal has concluded with the British Boxing Board of Control following an adverse finding in a drugs test. 

This has not stopped Hearn from putting plans in place for a return to British shores for Benn and he made no secret which opponent he wants his fighter to face when that return takes place.

"People are probably bored of me talking about Eubank, but it still baffles me that Chris Eubank did not take that fight against a guy that is two divisions lower than him," Hearn told Matchroom Boxing's YouTube channel. 

"A pay day two or three times bigger than he can get anywhere else in the world. I never say a fighter is ducking or scared but it just doesn’t make sense."

However, if a deal cannot be agreed to face Chris Eubank Jr, Hearn named two other British fighters Benn could face. 

"Away from Chris Eubank Jr, Kell Brook, Liam Smith, two fights that I love in the UK, but also the ability to bring a US name over."

Saturday's fight will be Benn's third fight stateside as he looks to establish himself as a worldwide star with his last US outing taking place in September when he beat Rodolfo Orozco in Orlando.
