Kongo: Outshining Benn against Formella would send shockwaves
Chris Kongo says a knockout win over Sebastian Formella, who withstood Conor Benn's power, would send shockwaves through the welterweight division.
Londoner Kongo will take on Germany's Formella at the OVO Arena in Wembley on June 11 on the undercard of Richard Riakporhe's IBF cruiserweight title eliminator against Fabio Turchi, live on Sky Sports.
Formella (23-2) has only lost to Benn and former world champion Shawn Porter, with both unable to stop the German inside the distance, but the Bermondsey boxer is determined to showcase his sharp skills, along with his concussive punches.
"It would 100 per cent be a big statement," Kongo told Sky Sports News.
