On Saturday night, Ryan Garcia faces off against Conor Benn in a highly anticipated grudge match at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Benn, the son of former welterweight champion Nigel Benn, aims to become the WBC welterweight champion by defeating Garcia. The British fighter has moved down in weight after successful bouts at middleweight and a 150-pound catchweight, while American Garcia defends his 147-pound title for the first time.
Garcia, with a record of 25-2 including a no-contest from a banned substance incident, starts as the favorite. However, Benn remains confident in his ability to spring a surprise. The fight features a mix of strong performances and off days for Garcia, while Benn struggled in a points win against veteran Regis Prograis. Garcia's father and his ticket-selling ability have led to accusations of nepotism, but Garcia's professional background is more polished than Benn's, who had a limited amateur background and was accused of cheating through drug use.
The fight will take place on September 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but in the early hours of September 13 in the UAE. Garcia and Benn are expected to make their ringwalks after 7am UAE time, with the main card starting at 4am UAE time. In the UAE, the fight will be available on DAZN pay-per-view for Dh49.
