'The Destroyer' has clearly had enough of UFC hunters who think they can deal with elite boxers.
Set with Dana White to promote Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford next month, there is talk of how MMA could cross -over with boxing now that the UFC CEO is involved in both.
Although we have changed former UFC hunters such as Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal the Octagon in recent times, we have not seen the two worlds so much, apart from Conor McGregor opposite Floyd Mayweather Jr.
A star as large as the current lightweight champion of the UFC could change that, given the enormous goals he has for his career.
There may have been a few conversations about Ilia Topuria who may be opposed to Alvarez, but now 'El Matador' has received a call from another boxer.

Conor Benn calls Ilia Topuria and other UFC hunters who believe they can compete with top boxers
Anyone who has viewed Conor Benn in whatever capacity knows that the 28-year-old boxer is an intense person who speaks his opinion.
This is again the case in a recent video that Benn released through his social media platforms in which he is changed and touch the bag, has issued a statement.
Benn spoke about UFC hunters who believe they can compete with top boxers and how he is happy to welcome them in the ring and to prove them incorrectly.
He specifically mentioned Ilia Topuria in giving an open challenge to everyone who wants to come and try to test themselves.
“Whoever wants to come to boxing this f— UFC hunters, dangerous game … One of this MMA party wants to come to boxing, if you want someone, you can come and get it. Filty … Bare Knokkel, everyone wants to come from the UFC … Ilia Topuria, I have this hands brother.

Towards the end of the video, Benn was honest when he admitted that he has absolutely no right to enter the Octagon with a UFC hunter, but he clearly believes that this is going in both sides.
'Listen, I am not stupid enough to go into the cage. I would never go into the cage. You won't catch me dead in the cage, you know why? Because then I got my A – to me. But for those who think they can come and do that to us, that is finished – – Liberty. “

Conor Benn has a huge fight for him that could define his estate
Although Conor Benn may be looking for a UFC hunter who wants to step through the ropes with him, he has other priorities to concentrate now.
The Brit recently expressed his concern that his heated Rematch with Chris Eank JR would not happen because his former opponent did not come to terms.
Ring Magazine recently announced that the fight has now been set for November, which means that it has been pushed back for two months from the originally planned date, which Benn responded to via social media.
“I was ready in September, but I am even more ready for November. See you soon.”
Benn lost his undefeated record when they first met last April in one of the best fights of the year.
