Conor Benn challenges Ryan Garcia for the WBC welterweight title at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The bout is scheduled for the early hours of Sunday morning. Garcia, who captured the WBC belt by defeating Mario Barrios in February, enters the contest with experience against top-tier opponents including Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis. Benn arrives at the fight following a series against Chris Eubank Jr. and a win over Chris Algieri. Analysts point to the weight cut as a factor for Benn, who moves toward 147lbs for this championship opportunity. The fighters recently participated in a heated pre-fight face-off that involved a security intervention after a press conference dispute.
