Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn referee, judges announced for title fight

The referee and judges have been chosen for one of boxing's biggest bouts of the year.

The referee and judges have been announced for the highly anticipated boxing fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn on September 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event, co-promoted by Zuffa Boxing and broadcast on Paramount+, will see four key individuals involved in the main bout. According to the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC), referee Tom Taylor will be tasked with overseeing the ring action, while scoring will be handled by judges Tim Cheatham, Max DeLuca, and David Sutherland.

These decisions will be crucial as Garcia, who currently holds the WBC welterweight title, aims to build on his February unanimous decision victory over Mario Barrios, while Benn seeks to secure his third consecutive unanimous decision win following his recent victories over Chris Eubank Jr. and Regis Prograis.
