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 intends to step up to 168lbs after the bout is over.
Benn labelled Garcia a "Gen Z kid who wants an easy life" and feels he has a harder edge. His team pointed to Dalton Smith's upset run as a comparison, framing Benn in the underdog role with real motivation against the American.
