How to form double bonds in a ring?

I have cyclohexene, and need a way to form it into a benzene ring. The one double bond, obviously, is already in there but what are some ways, or is the best way to create the other two double bonds to form the benzene? Could I simply heat the product to force the double bonds?

    You need to remove hydrogen as you say. The best catalysts for this are those used to put H2 onto double bonds. (Reverse reaction)
