Benn Sets Sights on Garcia for World Title Shot

Following his victory over Regis Prograis, Conor Benn expressed his eagerness to face WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia. Benn secured a unanimous decision win against the former world champion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, despite suffering cuts from head clashes. He swiftly turned his attention to Garcia, saying, 'Garcia, keep my belt warm! I want my belt. September, let's go.' Garcia, who won the WBC title in February, responded positively to the challenge. Benn's win over Prograis improved his record to 25-1, with the fight taking place at a catchweight 3lb above the welterweight limit. Benn has primarily fought at welterweight, with his only professional loss being to Chris Eubank Jr at 160lb, a defeat he avenged last year. Prograis pushed Benn hard, but the latter's superior speed and energy earned him a comfortable points victory.
