Conor Benn gone through 'pits of hell' in weight cut for Ryan Garcia boxing fight
Conor Benn opens up about his drastic weight cut for his boxing fight against Ryan Garcia.
LAS VEGAS - Conor Benn has reassured fans that he will make the contracted weight limit for his upcoming WBC welterweight title fight against Ryan Garcia. After two weeks of growing concern, Benn insists he will meet his commitment, despite the grueling 15-week weight cut process. The English boxer admits that the journey has been like "going through the pits of hell," but he emphasizes that the risk and challenge make it exciting.
Benn has been through extreme measures to reach the 147-pound limit, which he hasn't achieved since his 2022 fight against Chris van Heerden. He describes the experience as if he had a battle with Satan, but ultimately, he has succeeded and is prepared to face Garcia at the T-Mobile Arena.
