Garcia vs Benn How To Watch It

Garcia vs Benn How To Watch It: This weekend, Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn lock horns, as the Brit challenges for a world title for the first time in his career. Here’s the confirmed Garcia Benn start time below.

Indeed, Garcia vs Benn headlines the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this Saturday, with the WBC welterweight crown on the line.

Notably, ‘King Ry’ returns to the ring seven months on from his historic title win last time out.

Ultimately, the 28-year-old lifted a world title for the first time in his professional career as he beat Mario Barrios.

He dropped ‘El Azteca’ in the first round before cruising to a points victory to dethrone Barrios and become WBC champion. As a result, that win set up Garcia vs Benn, his first defence of the WBC strap.

Before that, Garcia fought for the WBA world title against Rolando Romero and fell short.

However, headlining in Times Square, New York, he was dropped early and missed out on a points decision.

Conor Benn’s road to Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn

Now, Garcia takes on Benn, who hasn’t fought at welterweight in years after moving up to middleweight last April to take on long-term rival Chris Eubank Jr.

Benn was outpointed in their first bout, but turned the tide seven months later in a rematch with Eubank.

As a result, the Essex man won decisively over 12 rounds and dropped Eubank Jr twice in the final round.

As he began coming back down in weight, ‘The Destroyer’ returned to the ring this April on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov.

Next, he outpointed a lacklustre Regis Prograis.
