Benn questions Garcia’s focus as negotiations continue for a proposed Las Vegas showdown
Conor Benn has publicly challenged Ryan Garcia to stop talking and sign the contract for their proposed September 12 fight in Las Vegas. With negotiations still ongoing, Benn took aim at Garcia’s recent social media activity and insisted he remains focused on training while waiting for the deal to be completed.
The pair have been repeatedly linked with a high-profile clash on September 12 in Las Vegas, though negotiations have yet to produce an official announcement amid reported promotional complications involving Golden Boy Promotions and Zuffa Boxing.
Benn reignited the rivalry with a direct message aimed at Garcia on X.
“While you’re drunk in Japan running your mouth, I’m grafting.
“Stop talking. Sign the contract ✍️”
Benn accompanied the post with a photo of himself training in the gym, appearing drenched in sweat as he worked through another session while continuing preparations for his next assignment.
Ryan has spent recent days documenting his time in Japan across social media, with Benn using the opportunity to question his rival’s focus as anticipation surrounding the potential fight continues to build.
The matchup has emerged as one of the most discussed possibilities at welterweight in recent months. However, despite the public exchanges between the two fighters, an agreement has yet to be formally confirmed.
If finalized, the Garcia-Benn bout would mark Benn’s first appearance since his unanimous decision victory over Regis Prograis on April 11. Ryan last fought on February 21, 2026, defeating WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios over 12 rounds.
Benn appears eager to move negotiations forward, making it clear that he believes the talking should end and the paperwork should begin.
