Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn: Robert Garcia makes his pick

On September 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV, Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn will headline a co-promoted card between Zuffa Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions. Fight fans in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and most countries worldwide can catch the action live on DAZN pay-per-view and The Ultimate Tier, while the U.S. can watch the event on Paramount+. Garcia-Benn will clash with Garcia’s WBC welterweight title on the line.

Ahead of this potentially explosive fight, renowned trainer Robert Garcia has spoken to Fight Hub TV, revealing his prediction for the main event in Las Vegas.

Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn: Explosive showdown set for September 12

Garcia (25-2, 20 KOs) is a fighter who splits opinion throughout the sport. His talent has never been deniable, but he did accept a ban after he tested positive for the banned substance ostarine on both the day before and the day of the fight against Devin Haney. He produced a career-best performance last time out against Mario Barrios to win the WBC welterweight title.

Benn (25-1, 14 KOs) arguably splits opinions in boxing more than Garcia does. He has had his own public troubles with banned substances. He did return to the ring in 2025, losing a thriller against Chris Eubank Jr at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Benn did triumph in the rematch against Eubank Jr. Now fighting under the Zuffa Boxing promotional banner, Benn is about to enter the biggest fight of his life!

Everywhere you see him, he’s got his belt on his shoulder. I think he’s in great shape for this one too, because he wants to defend it. He wants to be the champion for a while.
