Conor Benn has stated that a WBC title fight against Ryan Garcia is his top priority, but he is also being pursued by other prominent fighters. Benn recently signed a multi-year deal with Zuffa Boxing and defeated Regis Prograis in his debut fight for the company. As the mandatory challenger for Garcia's WBC welterweight title, Benn believes he has numerous options for his next fight. 'Of course, the Garcia fight is the priority, but I have plenty of other opportunities,' Benn said.
'Many big-name fighters are calling me out, and if Ryan doesn't want the fight, there are plenty of other options available.' Benn has been amused by the reaction to his recent win over Prograis, with many fighters now eager to face him. Zuffa Boxing head Dana White is open to making a fight between Benn and Garcia, and the company has also signed former WBO cruiserweight champion Chris Billam-Smith.
