“Your Head’s Next” – Conor Benn Accepts Ryan Garcia’s Challenge for Next Boxing Showdown
Last weekend, Conor Benn took his revenge by beating Chris Eubank Jr via unanimous decision, securing a clear, long-awaited victory. The fighter looked dominant and dropped Eubank Jr several times to claim an incredible victory that showcased his power. Following the bout, anticipation grew regarding what comes next for Benn, with Ryan Garcia appearing to be the potential opponent.
Garcia is undoubtedly one of the most popular names in boxing and lost his last fight against Rolando Romero earlier this year. The fighter is not yet scheduled to face anyone currently, but surprisingly, Conor Benn remains clearly on his radar. Following the fight, Garcia stated he would love to fight Benn and publicly urged promoters to make the matchup. Benn was quick to respond to the call-out and immediately accepted the challenge. “Your heads next then. We can run it here in a stadium. I’m the money man. Come get it!!,” wrote Conor Benn via X.

Garcia previously fought Devin Haney at 143.2 pounds, coming in three pounds overweight for the 140-pound title but still competing confidently. He later weighed 146.8 pounds against Romero in May 2025, officially marking his first appearance as a welterweight contender. Both he and Benn seem fully comfortable operating at the welterweight limit, making a potential future bout physically realistic and highly intriguing.
