Benn Sets Sights on Garcia for World Title Showdown

Conor Benn expressed his eagerness to face WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia following his victory over Regis Prograis on Saturday. Benn secured a unanimous decision win against the former world champion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, despite suffering cuts from several head clashes. He quickly shifted his focus to Garcia, stating, 'Garcia, I want my belt! Keep my belt warm' in a social media video. Garcia, who won the WBC title in February, responded by saying, 'I'm down. Garcia vs Benn. Let's do it.' Benn's win over Prograis, which improved his record to 25-1, was at a catchweight 3lb above the welterweight limit. Benn has primarily fought at welterweight, with his only professional loss coming against Chris Eubank Jr at 160lb, before winning the rematch last year. Prograis pushed Benn hard, but the latter's superior speed and energy earned him a comfortable points victory. Benn stated, 'It was a great fight. Tough, durable, experience. I had to weather some storms but we are good.' He also expressed his readiness to move down to 147lb to challenge Garcia.
