Summary
8 p.m. ET Thursday marked the final press conference for Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn before their Sept. 12 WBC welterweight title bout in Las Vegas.
Garcia framed the event around a personal feud already sharpened by earlier heated appearances, saying Benn "won't go past five" rounds because he is "better at the game."
The fight is Garcia's first defense since he won the WBC belt earlier in 2026 by shutting out Mario Barrios after a loss to Rolando Romero.
Benn enters on a 2-fight winning streak over Regis Prograis and Chris Eubank Jr., whose 2025 victory remains Benn's only career defeat.
