Denzel Bentley has set his sights on a blockbuster British showdown with Conor Benn after overcoming Shane Mosley Jr in London, with the welterweight star watching closely from ringside.

Bentley secured a hard-fought unanimous decision victory over Mosley at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday night, dropping the American heavily in the second round before being forced to work for the remaining eight rounds.

The former WBO middleweight champion looked to have Mosley in serious trouble after landing a devastating combination, but the visitor recovered impressively and made life uncomfortable for Bentley throughout the contest.

Despite Mosley's relentless pressure, Bentley's sharper punches and crucial knockdown proved decisive, with all three judges scoring the fight in his favour.

However, it was what followed the victory that could prove even more significant for Bentley's future.

With Benn seated at ringside, the Londoner openly called out his fellow Brit as he outlined his ambitions for another major fight.

Bentley initially expressed his desire to reclaim world championship honours, but quickly turned his attention towards Benn, identifying the unbeaten-at-middleweight contender as an attractive alternative.

Benn was quick to respond, indicating his willingness to accept the challenge and suggesting the matchup would be straightforward.

With both fighters now operating under the Zuffa Boxing banner, a domestic showdown could provide a lucrative opportunity for both men, potentially setting up one of Britain's most intriguing middleweight clashes.
