Benn Sets Sights on Garcia for World Title Showdown

Conor Benn expressed his eagerness to face WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia after securing a unanimous decision victory over Regis Prograis. Following the win, Benn immediately turned his focus to Garcia, stating 'Keep my belt warm!' in a social media video. Garcia responded by accepting the challenge, saying 'I'm down. Garcia vs Benn. Let's do it.' Benn's win over Prograis, which improved his record to 25-1, was at a catchweight of 3lb above the welterweight limit. Benn has largely competed at welterweight, with his sole professional loss coming against Chris Eubank Jr at 160lb, a defeat he avenged last year. Prograis pushed Benn to his limits, but the latter's superior speed and energy earned him a comfortable points win. Benn is now poised to move down to 147lb to pursue a title shot against Garcia.
