Ryan Garcia Fights for September Bout

Ryan Garcia is set to fight in September, with Conor Benn as a potential opponent.

What happened?

Oscar De La Hoya updated the status of Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn, stating that Garcia wants to fight on September 12.

Why it matters for Ryan Garcia

De La Hoya insists that the fight must be on DAZN due to Garcia's promotional contract with Golden Boy.

Garcia recently won the WBC welterweight title on February 21 by beating Mario Barrios.

What comes next?

Golden Boy has issued a cease-and-desist to Zuffa, and De La Hoya is standing his ground against Dana White and his new boxing venture. De La Hoya said: “The problem that I have with Zuffa is everything they touch, whenever they get involved, it’s a big problem all the time.” Garcia has a promotional contract with Golden Boy, and De La Hoya wants the fight to happen on DAZN. Benn jumped to Zuffa and was allegedly paid $15 million to fight Regis Prograis on Tyson Fury’s April 11 undercard. Garcia and De La Hoya/Golden Boy have had disputes in the past, but Garcia has always stayed with Golden Boy. The 27-year-old Garcia has a record of 25-2, with 20 KO wins. Benn has a record of 25-1, with 14 KO wins. The potential fight between Garcia and Benn is expected to be a major bout in the boxing world.
