Benn: Garcia Remains Top Priority, but Other Big-Name Fighters Are Clamoring for a Bout
Conor Benn has stated that a WBC title fight against Ryan Garcia is his primary objective, but he has also revealed that several other prominent fighters are now seeking to face him in the ring. Following his successful debut with Zuffa Boxing, where he defeated Regis Prograis at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Benn has become the mandatory challenger for Garcia's WBC welterweight title. However, Benn believes he now has a wide range of elite opponents to choose from. 'While the Garcia fight is my top priority, I'm not lacking in alternative options,' Benn explained to Sky Sports. 'There are numerous fighters, including some big names, who are eager to face me.' Benn recently signed a multi-year, multi-fight deal with Zuffa Boxing and is confident in his ability to take on any opponent. He has warned Garcia that if he doesn't accept the fight, there are plenty of other opportunities available. Dana White, the head of Zuffa Boxing, is open to arranging a 'fun' fight between Benn and Garcia, and the organization has also announced the signing of former WBO cruiserweight champion Chris Billam-Smith.
