Ryan Garcia<\/a> and Conor Benn<\/a> will lock horns in two weeks in a battle for Garcia\u2019s WBC welterweight world title, and two-division world champion Jermall Charlo has shared his verdict on the contest.<\/p>\n

Garcia won his first world title when he claimed a dominant decision win over Mario Barrios<\/a> back in February and the Californian is set for an intriguing first defence against mandatory challenger Benn, who returns to fight at 147lbs for the first time since April 2022.<\/p>\n

Even if able to pull off the upset, Benn has already revealed that he will be vacating the title and returning to a more natural weight division afterwards<\/a>, with his two middleweight outings against Chris Eubank Jr seeming to have impacted his ability to comfortably make the welterweight limit.<\/p>\n

In a clip captured by Fight Hub TV<\/a>, Jermall Charlo was asked for his thoughts on the fight and confirmed that he will be in attendance, after insinuating that he believes \u2018King Ry\u2019 will retain his belt.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI am a Ryan fan, I am not with Conor Benn but that is going to be a good fight, it\u2019s going to be a crazy fight. I will be there for that too.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Garcia-Benn takes place on Saturday, September 12, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where Jai Opetaia will face reigning WBC cruiserweight world champion, Noel Mikaelian, in the co-main event.<\/p>\n

As for Charlo, \u2018Hit Man\u2019 was expected to return to action in Australia last month until visa issues intervened. Instead, the American is targeting a shot at Jaime Munguia\u2019s WBA super-middleweight title for next year<\/a>, but mentioned October 17 as his potential next fight date.<\/p>\n
