Conor Nigel Benn and Ryan Garcia Spar on Social Media Ahead of September Las Vegas Fight

British welterweight Conor Nigel Benn intensified his rivalry with American champion Ryan Garcia by posting a photo of Garcia kneeling after his 2023 knockout loss to Gervonta Davis, alleging Garcia lacks resolve. Garcia replied on X with a direct threat, "I'm ending you," continuing the personal exchange as the two prepare for a scheduled bout on September 12, 2026 in Las Vegas.

The fight will see Garcia defending the WBC welterweight title he won in February 2026 against Mario Barrios, while Benn seeks his first world championship after moving up from the welterweight ranks. Both fighters have used the online feud to generate hype and promote the high‑profile matchup, which is being billed as one of boxing’s biggest events of the year.
