Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia are set to fight, with UK viewing times and ring-walk details officially locked in. Benn has spoken openly about a hard weight cut and says he intends to step up to 168lbs after the bout is over.
Benn described Garcia a "Gen Z kid who wants an easy life" and sees himself as different. His team pointed to Dalton Smith's upset run as a comparison, placing Benn in the underdog role with real motivation against the American.
