Frank Warren does not rule out a Conor Benn<\/a> retirement after seeing \u2018The Destroyer\u2019 get \u201cdestroyed\u201d in two rounds by Ryan Garcia.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the 29-year-old appeared way out of his depth against the vastly superior Garcia, who displayed glaring advantages in speed and skill when they collided last weekend.<\/p>\n

While many had predicted a stoppage victory for the WBC world champion, very few expected him to take care of business in such ruthless fashion.<\/p>\n

In the second round, though, Garcia landed a crushing right hand that floored Benn, who managed to climb off the canvas but was ultimately stopped on his feet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a result, many have concluded that the Brit simply does not belong at world level, let alone near the upper echelon of a stacked welterweight division.<\/p>\n

In fact, his clearest route to another lucrative payday could be via a trilogy clash with Chris Eubank Jr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking with IFL TV<\/a>, however, Queensberry promoter Warren suggested that Benn\u2019s best course of action might be to hang up his gloves.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe got destroyed. [He was] never going to win the [Garcia] fight. It\u2019s the same as Chris Eubank Jr \u2013 they\u2019re at a certain level. And that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I was him, I\u2019d retire. He\u2019s not at [world] level. Good luck to him \u2013 he\u2019s made a nice few quid in his last few fights.\u201d<\/p>\n

After losing their first middleweight encounter by unanimous decision<\/a> in April 2025, Benn ended up scoring a dominant points victory over Eubank later that year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frank Warren does not rule out a Conor Benn retirement after seeing \u2018The Destroyer\u2019 get \u201cdestroyed\u201d in two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":898808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-898807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=898807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/898808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=898807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=898807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=898807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
