Benn beats Algieri
BBC Radio 5 LiveConor Benn, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live:
"Dealing with [being in my Dad's shadow] as a 19-year-old. So many people doubted me, [but] I'm here grafting hard, working hard. I really struggled with the pressure. I am where I am because of the hard work.
"People talk about the Adrian Granados fight, he didn't even come there to win. Did I fight recklessly, yes I did. But I'd do it again."
On his winning punch:
"That was a naughty shot. Oh my word, no one's getting up from that."
Who's next?
"If Eddie brought me Ugas now I'd fight him. I'm a different fighter now, I'll be even better next fight, I'm always growing, always learning.
"I'm top five. I'm definitely the best fighter in Britain."

Speaking to DAZN, Conor Benn said: "I silenced all them doubters. Watch the next fight, it's gonna be a fight.
"When I say I'm top five, I'm top five for a reason. No one did that to [Chris] Algieri. What more do I have to do? Maybe I just frustrate myself.
"I'm a top world level athlete. You don't get the rankings I have for nothing. I didn't expect nothing else. I work extremely hard, I knew the KO was coming, if they want to come and have a fight that is what happens.
"I hope the Yanks know I'm the best fighter in Britain, number one, and number two, I'm coming for them."

Former super-featherweight world champion on BBC Radio 5 liveAlgieri has only been beaten by the very, very best.
He came here with a real ambition to win.
He's 37-years-old but I don't think Conor Benn used his youth to win the fight.
