“My next fight is September 12,”\u00a0said Garcia. “I can’t announce it yet, but there are some people from the UK that [sic] need an a**-whooping.<\/p>\n
“The guy I might fight next is from the UK,” Garcia added before letting Benn’s name slip after 6ix9ine promised to walk him out.<\/p>\n
“It’s gonna be in Vegas [at] T-Mobile [Arena]… You hear that, Conor Bum? My guy is gonna walk me out. <\/p>\n
“Go get a goofy from England to walk you out.”<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that Garcia and Benn have been locked in negotiations.<\/p>\n
‘King Ry’ even declared last month that his WBC mandatory defence has been ‘finalised’<\/a>.<\/p>\n The only issue is that the date Garcia insists he will be fighting Benn is the same day Canelo Alvarez challenges Christian Mbilli for the WBC super middleweight title.<\/a><\/p>\n Canelo and Mbilli are set to square off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, meaning the timings are unlikely to directly clash with a Garcia-Benn Vegas fight night.<\/p>\n However, it would be ill-advised to go up against Canelo on Mexican Independence Day weekend.<\/p>\n Canelo has made the date his own, and any event scheduled for September 12 risks being swallowed up, particularly one targeted at the US market. <\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n September 12 is the date Canelo is due to box Mbilli in Riyadh, Saudi ArabiaCredit: Getty<\/p>\n Garcia does have a habit of announcing fights before they are over the line.<\/p>\n We saw this in April when he claimed he was boxing Teofimo Lopez on July 25.<\/a><\/p>\n Naturally, Garcia’s words should therefore be taken with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n Latest from Benn’s camp on Garcia fight <\/p>\n Benn’s manager, Keith Connolly, confirmed last week that there were still some details to be ironed out. <\/p>\n Providing an update on discussions between Garcia and his client, Connolly, told Boxing News: \u201cWe\u2019re in the middle of negotiating [Garcia-Benn], along with some other big fights.<\/p>\n “I could see it happening; I could see it falling apart \u2013 but we\u2019re targeting that fight right now. <\/p>\n Read More on talkSPORT<\/p>\n “I think that\u2019s a great fight for both guys. It\u2019ll be a massive fight if it\u2019s over here [in the UK] and it\u2019ll be a massive fight if it\u2019s in [Las] Vegas. <\/p>\n “It\u2019s a sell-out wherever it goes. I think we\u2019ll know in the next couple of weeks where we\u2019re headed, but that\u2019s definitely the fight that we want.”<\/p>\n The Knockout Weekend Bundle on DAZN<\/p>\n *If you click on a link in this boxout we will earn affiliate revenue<\/p>\n Get ready for an action-packed weekend of world-class boxing with DAZN’s Knockout Weekend Bundle<\/a>, featuring two unmissable nights of fights exclusively available on DAZN.<\/p>\n Purchase the Big Fight Bundle:\u00a0Head to the DAZN website to buy Ryan Garcia vs. Rolly Romero<\/a> on 2nd May or Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull<\/a> on 3rd May.Enjoy the Bundle Discount: Access to each fight-night will cost you \u00a321.99 individually, but just \u00a334.99<\/a> when ordered as a bundle.Choose Your Bonus:\u00a0With your PPV purchase, enjoy a 7-day free trial of DAZN <\/a>with no strings attached, or get one month free when you sign up for an annual plan.Watch World-Class Boxing:\u00a0Gain access to these epic showdowns<\/a> plus DAZN\u2019s extensive library of fights, featuring the biggest names in boxing.<\/p>\n![\"Canelo](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/canelo-alvarez-reacts-makes-ring-1023197514.jpg\")
