Denzel Bentley secured a unanimous decision victory over Shane Mosley Jr. in London on Saturday, dropping his opponent with a stunning second-round knockdown. The win came after Bentley was stripped of his WBO middleweight title for choosing to fight Mosley Jr., a world-rated contender, instead of mandatory challenger Yoenli Hernandez.
Now targeting IBF champion Aaron McKenna and WBC titlist Carlos Adames, Bentley is willing to travel to Ireland for a unification bout. "I'd happily go to Ireland, beat him in his home town and then bring it back to England," Bentley told Sky Sports. McKenna's manager Mike Borao confirmed discussions have occurred, calling the matchup a "strong possibility for next year."
The fighters share history from previous negotiations, and Bentley believes the bout would draw massive support — "He'd have the whole of Ireland behind him, I'd have part of England... it would just make a great fight." Meanwhile, Adames faces Gerome Warburton this Saturday live on Sky Sports.
