Big night ahead: Conor Benn will attempt to dethrone Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas Getty George Flood , Senior Sport Editor @ GeorgeFlood24 8 minutes ago Conor Benn battles Ryan Garcia tonight as he tries to achieve world champion status for the first time in his 10-year boxing career. ‘The Destroyer’ travels to Las Vegas in an attempt to claim the WBC welterweight title, full of confidence after following his sensational rematch win over arch-rival Chris Eubank Jr with a decision victory against Regis Prograis last time out. But he faces a considerable challenge against the unpredictable Garcia, who is making the first defence of the belt he easily took from Mario Barrios back in February.

Benn’s new multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing begins with this maiden world title tilt, having been installed as the WBC mandatory challenger at welterweight late last year.

It is his first return to the division since April 2022 and he had to complete a gruelling cut to make weight, revealing that he had been “dragged down to the pits of hell” in an effort to get to 147lbs. But he did it successfully, before quickly piling the pounds back on with no rehydration clause in place.

Tonight’s undercard action includes a huge cruiserweight title clash between Jai Opetaia and Noel Mikaelian, following an opening win for Andres Cortes over Mark Magsayo and dramatic first-round stoppage by heavyweight prospect Da'Mazion Vanhouter. Follow Garcia vs Benn live below!
