Following his unanimous decision victory over Regis Prograis, Conor Benn expressed his eagerness to face WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia. Benn, who fought at a catchweight 3lb above the welterweight limit, overcame a tough challenge from Prograis, including several head clashes that resulted in cuts to his eye.
After the win, Benn swiftly turned his attention to Garcia, stating 'Garcia, I want my belt! I want my belt.
Keep my belt warm.' Garcia, who won the WBC welterweight world title in February, responded positively to the challenge. Benn's victory improved his fight record to 25-1, with his only professional defeat coming at 160lb against Chris Eubank Jr, a loss he later avenged. With his sights now set on Garcia, Benn is ready to move down to 147lb and make his world title aspirations a reality.
