Conor Benn discusses preparation for upcoming Ryan Garcia fight
Summary

British boxer Conor Benn is currently training in Los Angeles for a scheduled main event bout against Ryan Garcia. The fight follows a period of personal and professional transition for Benn, who was cleared to return to boxing in the UK in November 2024 following a two-year investigation into failed drug tests. Outside of his professional career, Benn noted that his focus has shifted toward balancing his responsibilities as a father and his views on traditional masculine roles. Having navigated a split from his long-time promoter Eddie Hearn and a high-profile series of bouts involving Regis Prograis and Chris Eubank Jr, Benn continues to prepare for his next ring appearance. He stated that his current training regimen remains demanding despite the absence of his family in California.
