Ryan Garcia Defends WBC Title Against Conor Benn in Las Vegas

Ryan Garcia is set to defend his WBC welterweight title against Conor Benn on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, marking the first time he headlines an event during Mexican Independence Day Weekend.

Garcia, with a record of 25 wins and 2 losses, will face Benn, who has 25 wins and 1 loss, in a main event promoted by Zuffa Boxing. This fight follows Garcia's successful title win in February against Mario Barrios. The co-main event features cruiserweights Jai Opetaia and Noel Mikaelian, both vying for recognition in their division.

Garcia's recent performances suggest he is entering a promising phase of his career, while Benn faces challenges related to his weight cut after a period of inactivity. Additionally, the rivalry between promoters Oscar De La Hoya and Dana White may add intrigue to the event. The co-main event is also anticipated to be a significant matchup in the cruiserweight category.
