Conor Benn will be a busy man in September after being confirmed on the undercard for two huge British boxing nights.

Benn, who has won all three of his bouts since turning professional this year, will fight at the O2 on September 10 on the Gennady Golovkin v Kell Brook bill, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and two weeks later as part of the Anthony Crolla v Jorge Linares show, live on Sky Sports, at the Manchester Arena.

The 19-year-old has already been on three big undercards, most recently knocking out Lukas Radic on the same night Anthony Joshua retained his IBF heavyweight title by beating Dominic Breazeale at the O2.

"It's brilliant being on these huge shows but I'm not complacent," said Benn. "I know I have a lot to learn and a lot of improving to do.

"I want to have four more fights before the end of the year and then seven in 2017 - after that, I'll be ready to start challenging for titles.

"I'm learning every day in the gym and being on the big shows and seeing how these top fighters like Anthony Joshua, Ricky Burns, Kell Brook and Anthony Crolla go about their business is invaluable to me."
