Ryan Garcia warns September 12 bout with Conor Benn not finalized

Boxer Ryan Garcia confirmed that his anticipated fight with Conor Benn, tentatively scheduled for September 12 at the T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, remains under negotiation. Garcia said the matchup is "potential" and that details are still being worked out, noting an "asterisk" on the date and venue until contracts are signed. He highlighted that the two fighters are under different promoters—Garcia with Golden Boy Promotions and Benn with Dana White's Zuffa Boxing—which has complicated finalizing the agreement. Additionally, Garcia mentioned his existing contract with The Ring, ensuring the media outlet will be involved in his next fight regardless of the final arrangement. Both camps appear eager to close the deal, but the fight is not yet official.
