CONOR Benn laboured to a scrappy points win against unknown Peter Dobson.
But The Destroyer, 27, had to survive an onslaught from his opponent in the 12th round.
The British fighter has been unable to fight on home soil after he was banned for failing two drug tests, which scuppered his bout with Chris Eubank Jr.
However, he has been allowed to continue with his career in the States – disposing of Rodolfo Orozco on points back in September.
And tonight he defeated 33-year-old Dobson in Las Vegas, who was 16-0 before this contest.
Judges scored the fight 119-109, 118-110 & 118-110 in his favour, as Benn won by unanimous decision.
