Conor Benn Sets Sights on Ryan Garcia for World Title Bout

Following his victory over Regis Prograis on Saturday, Conor Benn expressed his eagerness to challenge WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia. Benn secured a unanimous decision win against the former world champion Prograis at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, despite suffering cuts from several head clashes. After the fight, Benn swiftly turned his attention to Garcia, stating 'Garcia, I want my belt! I want my belt. Keep my belt warm' in a social media video. Garcia, who claimed the WBC welterweight title in February, responded by saying 'I'm down. Garcia vs Benn. Let's do it.' Benn's win, which improved his record to 25-1, was at a catchweight 3lb above the welterweight limit. Having spent most of his career at welterweight, with his sole professional loss being to Chris Eubank Jr at 160lb before winning the rematch, Benn is now focused on moving down to 147lb to face Garcia.
