Face-off: Ryan Garcia fights Conor Benn in Las Vegas on Saturday night Getty George Flood , Senior Sport Editor @ GeorgeFlood24 2 minutes ago Garcia vs Benn LIVE!
Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn fight tonight in a massive title showdown in Las Vegas. Garcia puts his WBC welterweight title on the line for the first time at T-Mobile Arena, six months on from dethroning Mario Barrios. His maiden defence is against Benn, who is looking to become a world champion for the first time after following up his incredible rematch win over arch-rival Chris Eubank Jr by outpointing Regis Prograis in a gruelling debut under the Zuffa Boxing banner, having ended his partnership with Eddie Hearn.
Benn’s new multi-fight deal with Zuffa begins with the first world title challenge of his 10-year career, having been installed as the WBC mandatory challenger at welterweight 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 he had been “dragged to the pits of hell” in a bid to get down to 147lbs. But he did it successfully, before quickly piling it back on with no rehydration clause in place.
Tonight’s undercard action includes a huge cruiserweight title unification clash between Jai Opetaia and Noel Mikaelian. Follow Garcia vs Benn live below!
