Benn Names Garcia as Top Priority, But Other Boxing Stars Are Eager for a Fight

Conor Benn has stated that his primary focus is on securing a WBC title match against Ryan Garcia, but he has also revealed that several other prominent fighters are now eager to face him in the ring. Following his recent victory over Regis Prograis at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Benn signed a multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing. As the mandatory challenger for Garcia's WBC welterweight title, Benn believes he has numerous options for his next bout. "Ryan Garcia is my top priority, but I'm not lacking in alternatives," Benn said in an interview with Sky Sports. "There are many fighters calling me out, including some big names. If the Garcia fight doesn't happen, I have plenty of other options to consider." Benn's recent win over Prograis has sparked interest from various fighters, with many now seeking to face him in the ring. The British boxer has expressed amusement at the sudden surge in attention, noting that few fighters were interested in facing him after his rematch win over Chris Eubank Jr. "It's funny how things have changed," Benn said. "After my last fight, everyone was silent, but now they're all calling me out. I think it's because they've seen me perform at 150lbs and go the distance with a two-time world champion." Zuffa Boxing's head, Dana White, has expressed interest in organizing a fight between Benn and Garcia, describing it as a "fun" matchup. White is also looking to sign more British talent, including young and up-and-coming fighters with potential to become world champions.
