Garcia to defend WBC welterweight title against Conor Benn in Las Vegas

Ryan Garcia (25-2, 20 knockouts) is set to defend his WBC welterweight title against British contender Conor Benn (25-1, 14 knockouts) in the main event of a Las Vegas bout on Saturday night. The 12-round fight will determine whether Garcia can retain the belt after his first defense. Both fighters entered the arena with unbeaten streaks in the division and are expected to deliver a high-profile showdown.

Garcia, who captured the title earlier this year, has expressed confidence in his preparation, while Benn, a former world champion at junior welterweight, aims to add the welterweight crown to his résumé. The bout is scheduled for the standard 12-round distance under WBC rules.
