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