Why Carl Froch has expressed doubts over Conor Benn’s chances against Ryan Garcia

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleConor Benn is set to challenge Ryan Garcia for the WBC welterweight title at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday in his first world title fight. Carl Froch has expressed serious doubts over Benn's chances, warning that the Briton looks drained and scrawny after cutting down to the 147lb weight limit. Froch cautioned that Benn risks being hurt by Garcia's lightning-fast counter left hook if his punch resistance is compromised by weight cutting. Benn has not competed at welterweight in two-and-a-half years and has failed to secure a knockout victory since 2022. Garcia defends the WBC belt he won against Mario Barrios in February, having previously served a one-year suspension following a failed drug test in 2024.
