Conor Benn<\/a> is one of the most talked-about men in boxing as he prepares to lock in his next opponent.<\/p>\n

The Brit secured the biggest win of his career in November when he beat Chris Eubank Jr over 12 rounds<\/a> in what was a near shutout in London. The result was a reverse of the first fight in April and means Benn can now go on and pursue a world title in his more natural welterweight division.<\/p>\n

He has called out everyone from WBC ruler Mario Barrios to three-weight world champion Devin Haney, but he is yet to make a deal with anyone.<\/a><\/p>\n

In the meantime, former Haney opponent<\/a> and left hook specialist Ryan Garcia has been speaking to Covers<\/a> about how much he would enjoy fighting Benn, though he claims it would have to be in England.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he has a big presence in America, but I would be willing to go to the UK. I would definitely be willing to go to the UK to fight him. He seems like a fun matchup. He\u2019s gonna come crazy and throw bombs all night, and thinks he\u2019s gonna overwhelm me, but he won\u2019t, but I would love to fight him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love fighting Eddie Hearn fighters, I don\u2019t know why, I just love to beat them up, he just makes you want to beat his fighters up. It\u2019s just the way he talks, the way he moves, I can\u2019t wait to look at his face and say, \u201cI did it again\u201d. I beat Luke Campbell, Devin Haney, he was representing him, I beat him. I\u2019m ready to beat up Conor now. That would bring so much joy to me, almost more than a championship title.I would be ecstatic just to see Eddie\u2019s face, sad and confused.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then broke down Benn\u2019s abilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s at the level he thinks he\u2019s at, I\u2019ll tell you that. I don\u2019t think that Eubank had enough skills, or felt good enough. I just think Conor is young, and I think he\u2019s hungry, and I think he fights that way, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s that good, if that makes sense. His style is a brawler. But boxers will always beat brawlers. A good boxer will always beat a good brawler, for sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he beats any of the top-level dudes at 147, but if he believes it, we could all run it. If he wants a big name, I would love to come to the UK and take all your fans. That would be ecstatic. And guess what? The UK fans are the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benn has spoken before of his desire to win a world title, which is not something Garcia can offer currently, though it would be a big-money fight with the eyes of the world on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Conor Benn is one of the most talked-about men in boxing as he prepares to lock in his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289226,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-289225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
