Quotes

Ryan Garcia: "If I let this man beat me, that would be crazy.

"You're going to get knocked out under five [rounds]. Hey, Turki [Alalshikh] ... five rounds is all it's going to take. Thank you for this opportunity. I'm going to knock him out in five or below."

Conor Benn: “I’m not saying that I dislike [Garcia] or hate him, it’s not a Chris Eubank Jr situation.

“[But] you haven’t got to like everyone, have you? We’re just not the same. My pillars are very different to his. Mine’s family, working hard, choosing the hard way, because the hard way pays off later on.

“He’s one of these Gen Z kids, ‘kid-men’ who want an easy life. I’m just not wired that way. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion is my sort of mindset.

“I just want to be the best version of me, be in the biggest fights possible, challenge myself against the best. Is that not what we’re in this game for?

“Am I not here to really push the limits? To see how far Conor Benn can go? It was maybe only after my 15th fight that I realised I can go all the way.”

Predictions

Brian "BoMac" McIntyre, World champion trainer: "Conor Benn gon' probably stop him. He gon' probably stop him, man.

"Ryan ain't never been the same since that first fight with Haney. And he got popped. He just never got back to that type of winning.

"I've seen Benn first-hand... man, that dude! He gon' destroy! You heard it first from the BoMan."

Kell Brook, Former IBF World welterweight champion: "I give Conor a good chance, but I do lean towards Garcia - I just think he’ll rise to the occasion. I think Garcia has that get out of jail card. When I boxed Shaun Porter, I went to Vegas to finish some sparring, and I put it on to this kid, and after we got chatting, he said he’s never been hit as hard as Ryan Garcia. The punch power he’s got is just next level."
