Conor Benn reveals amazing body transformation just weeks before his fight with Ryan Garcia
Conor Benn is gearing up to face Ryan Garcia at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on September 12. He’s looking to score his third win in a row after experiencing his first loss in his pro career. The English boxer is taking this fight very seriously, especially after seeing how fit he’s become in preparation.
At 29 years old, Benn faced his only professional defeat back in April 2025 against Chris Eubank Jr. But he quickly bounced back by beating a fellow English fighter in November and then winning against Regis Prograis. Benn’s unanimous decision win over the American boxer set up this exciting match with Garcia, where he hopes to win the WBC welterweight title from the 28-year-old.
Benn has moved back down to 147 pounds for the first time since 2022, and fans have noticed his impressive transformation in recent pictures shared by Ring Magazine on X (formerly Twitter). Garcia recently won the WBC welterweight title in February after beating Mario Barrios by unanimous decision.
This fight could be really close since both fighters have 25 wins each. Benn has only lost once, while Garcia has two losses under his belt. Benn admits he feels like the underdog for this fight but thinks that will push him to perform even better. He told Sky Sports, “I like being the underdog. I think I perform at my best. Every fight I’ve had has prepared me for moments like this. All the pressure early on has made me ready for big nights.”
So far in his career, Benn has only been considered the underdog twice—both times against Eubank. But he definitely knows the threat Garcia brings. The American boxer’s super-fast left hook has led to some big knockdowns and could be a real danger against Benn, especially since Benn fights aggressively, giving Garcia chances to land a knockout punch.
The upcoming Benn vs. Garcia fight promises to be a thrilling event. With Benn stepping in as the underdog and looking better than ever, fans are in for an exciting night just weeks away!
