Conor Benn suffered a second-round defeat to WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas. Following the loss, promoter Eddie Hearn stated that Benn is unlikely to accept any warm-up fights to rebuild his career. Instead, Hearn believes Benn will only accept a high-profile trilogy bout against his rival Chris Eubank Jr.

Hearn suggested that Benn does not have the ability to win a world title at 160 or 168 pounds. He noted that Benn, who recently joined Dana White's Zuffa Boxing, will likely look to secure a lucrative final fight against Eubank Jr. before retiring from the sport.
