Conor Benn Eyes Garcia Fight as Top Priority, But Other Big Names Are Eager to Step Into the Ring

Conor Benn has expressed his desire to secure a WBC title fight against Ryan Garcia, stating that it is his top priority. However, the British boxer has also revealed that several other prominent fighters are now clamoring for a chance to face him. Benn recently signed a multi-year, multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing and successfully made his debut with the company by defeating Regis Prograis. As the mandatory challenger for Garcia's WBC welterweight title, Benn believes he has earned the right to face the American champion. 'Of course, getting the Garcia fight done is the priority, but I'm not short of options,' Benn said. 'There are a lot of fighters calling me out, big names calling me out. If Ryan doesn't want it, there are plenty of other opportunities out there.' Benn's comments come after his impressive points victory over Prograis, which has seemingly sparked interest from other top fighters. The 29-year-old boxer admitted that he finds it amusing that many of his peers are now eager to face him, having previously shown little interest. 'It just goes to show their character, because no one was calling me out after the second Eubank fight,' Benn noted. 'They've seen me go the distance with Regis and now they want to start hyping up and calling me out.' Zuffa Boxing head Dana White has expressed his willingness to make a 'fun' fight between Benn and Garcia, highlighting the company's commitment to creating exciting matchups. With Benn's stock on the rise, it remains to be seen which opponent he will face next, but one thing is certain - the British boxer is ready for his next challenge.
