Conor Benn Sets Sights on Ryan Garcia for World Title Showdown

Following his unanimous decision victory over Regis Prograis, Conor Benn has made it clear that he is eager to face WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia in his next bout. Benn's win over Prograis, a former world champion, was a hard-fought one, with several head clashes resulting in cuts to his eye. Nevertheless, Benn turned his attention to Garcia immediately after the fight, saying 'Garcia, I want my belt! Keep my belt warm' in a social media video. Garcia, who won the WBC welterweight title in February, has expressed his willingness to face Benn, saying 'I'm down. Garcia vs Benn. Let's do it.' Benn's victory over Prograis, which took place at a catchweight 3lb above the welterweight limit, improves his fight record to 25-1. Benn has primarily fought at welterweight throughout his career, with his only professional loss coming against Chris Eubank Jr at 160lb, a defeat he avenged last year. Prograis pushed Benn to his limits on Saturday, but Benn's superior speed and energy ultimately earned him a comfortable points victory.
