Teofimo Lopez Sums up Conor Benn's Chances of Beating Ryan Garcia to Become World Champion
Lopez says Garcia’s speed and Benn’s difficult return to welterweight make the title challenge a competitive test, not a sure thing.
- On Saturday, September 12, WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia defends his title against challenger Conor Benn at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
- Both fighters bring documented drug testing issues to the ring, as Garcia served a 12-month ban for ostarine while Benn has struggled to make the 147-pound limit since 2022.
- Entering as a-350 favorite, Garcia dismissed Benn's understanding of his boxing intelligence, claiming "I think he just sees me as talented, but he doesn't know all the levels I go to master the craft."
- Should Benn win, he plans to immediately vacate the title and move up in weight, while Garcia is eyeing a Cinco de Mayo 2027 showdown against WBA welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez.
- Following this fight, Garcia and undefeated two-division champion David Benavidez will become promotional free agents, potentially aligning for a co-starring Cinco de Mayo 2027 event.
