On Saturday, Ryan Garcia will take on Conor Benn in a highly anticipated fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The British boxer, Benn, aims to secure his first world title by defeating the WBC welterweight champion Garcia. Benn will be moving down in weight after previously competing at middleweight and a 150-pound catchweight, while Garcia secures his first title defence at 147 pounds.
Garcia, who boasts a 25-2 record, is the clear favourite for the bout. However, Benn (25-1) is optimistic about potentially surprising his opponent. Although Garcia has shown flashes of brilliance, his form has been inconsistent at times, including a no-contest loss after testing positive for banned substances and an absence from a match due to injury.
Benn, on the other hand, has been criticized for being a "nepo-baby" due to his famous father Nigel Benn. He had limited amateur experience and was often matched against weaker opponents, which prevented him from establishing himself properly in the British or European boxing scene. Despite beating Chris Eubank Jr. and Regis Prograis, Benn's career lacked depth compared to the accomplished Garcia.
The fight will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but the action will be broadcast at 4am UAE time the following day, September 13th. Fans in the UAE can watch the event on DAZN pay-per-view for Dh49.
