Conor Benn steps back from boxing after loss to Ryan Garcia

Summary

Conor Benn has decided to take a hiatus from boxing following his recent second-round TKO loss to Ryan Garcia on September 12, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Trainer Tony Sims stated that Benn is 'burnt out' from the sport and will not fight at welterweight (147 pounds) again, indicating a move to middleweight or super middleweight may be next. The defeat came after a challenging weight cut, and Benn's future in the ring remains uncertain as he considers a significant break from the sport. A potential third fight against Chris Eubank Jr. could happen once Benn is ready to return.
