A string of social media posts this afternoon have confirmed that Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia will fight on September 12. They are going to compete for the American’s WBC belt, with each Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing and Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions involved within the event.
Turki Alalshikh is the person behind making the fight occur. And the Saudi boxing supremo has organized a broadcast deal that can see Paramount+ get United States broadcasting rights with DAZN getting the fight within the UK and Ireland.
“Been build up to this for a decade,” Benn said of the fight in a transient post on Instagram. “I won’t miss! #ItsComingHome”
“Big thanks to my partners at DAZN for being extremely helpful to creating this occur,” Garcia wrote. “Also after all to HE [His Excellency] and the entire ring magazine team!!!
