\u201cStill issues on Golden Boy\/Garcia\/DAZN side so no announcement yet even though the fighters & Zuffa Boxing PR team were on hand anticipating it was to have happened at Friday\u2019s weigh-in, per sources,\u201d Rafael said on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rafael added that the announcement was never going to move forward until every agreement had been finalized.<\/p>\n \u201cPaper not done & they weren\u2019t going to announce until it was DONE. Benn side is done.\u201d<\/p>\n If the remaining issues are resolved, Rafael said the promotion intends to hold a kickoff press conference in New York next week around Zuffa Boxing\u2019s July 26 card at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n The proposed matchup would headline a September 12 event in Las Vegas, with Ryan defending his WBC welterweight title against Benn. Negotiations have been complicated by Garcia\u2019s ties to Golden Boy Promotions and DAZN, while Benn is now aligned with Zuffa Boxing, leaving the promotional structure and broadcast arrangements to be finalized before the fight can be officially announced.<\/p>\n Ryan and Benn made brief appearances during the UFC 329 festivities but spent much of the event on the sidelines as the expected announcement failed to materialize.<\/p>\n Eddy Pronishev has covered professional boxing since 2001, earning recognition for his technical analysis and informed perspective on the sport\u2019s leading fighters, promoters, and events.
