Conor Benn Eyes Ryan Garcia Showdown, But Other Top Fighters Are Also Clamoring for a Bout
Conor Benn has stated that a WBC title fight against Ryan Garcia is his top priority, but he's also aware that several other prominent fighters are eager to step into the ring with him. Following his successful debut with Zuffa Boxing, where he defeated Regis Prograis, Benn has become a sought-after opponent. The British star, who is the mandatory challenger for Garcia's WBC welterweight title, believes he has multiple options for his next fight. Benn signed a multi-year, multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing after his win over Prograis, and he's now in a position to take on a range of elite opponents. He expressed his desire to face Garcia, but also acknowledged that there are other big names calling him out. Benn's victory over Prograis has seemingly sparked interest from other fighters, with many now eager to face him. The 29-year-old avenged his only loss in a rematch win over Chris Eubank Jr last November, and he's confident in his abilities to take on the best in the division. Dana White, the head of Zuffa Boxing, has also expressed his interest in making a fight between Benn and Garcia, describing it as a 'fun' matchup. With Zuffa Boxing's recent signing of Chris Billam-Smith, the former WBO cruiserweight champion, White is looking to recruit more of Britain's top talent in the coming weeks.
