Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia are confirmed for a bout, with UK viewing times and ring-walk details officially locked in. Benn has been candid about a hard weight cut and says he plans to move up to 168lbs after the bout is over.
Benn labelled Garcia a "Gen Z kid who wants an easy life" and believes he is cut from different cloth. His team referenced Dalton Smith's upset run as a comparison, framing Benn in the underdog role with something to prove against the American.
