Ryan Garcia<\/a> will defend his WBC welterweight world title against Conor Benn next weekend, but the Californian believes that an undefeated legend is helping to train his opponent ahead of the fight.<\/p>\n

Garcia claimed the title with an impressive triumph over Mario Barrios<\/a> back in February and he now hopes that he can fulfil his potential and become the face of boxing, beginning with a high-profile clash with Benn.<\/p>\n

Should he be victorious, \u2018King Ry\u2019 is eyeing up unification bouts against either Teofimo Lopez (WBA champion) or a rematch against WBO titleholder Devin Haney, as well a potential showdown with recently-retired pound-for-pound king Terence Crawford<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a clip captured by The Ariel Helwani Show<\/a>, Garcia revealed that he is aware that Crawford is currently helping Benn prepare for the contest, but believes that the assistance of \u2018Bud\u2019 will be of little use.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYou notice what they all have in common? They all sound bitter and hateful. Nothing good comes out of that, ever. They are all obviously bitter. I don\u2019t really care what they think, at the end of the day, they can\u2019t fight for Conor Benn, at all. They can\u2019t punch for him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cI know that Crawford is at Conor Benn\u2019s gym, trying to give him every technique that he can give him, that s**t ain\u2019t gonna help because I feel like I would beat your a**, so what are you gonna teach him?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Garcia-Benn will go ahead on Saturday, September 12, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with Benn set to move up in weight straight afterwards<\/a>, regardless of the outcome of the fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Garcia will defend his WBC welterweight world title against Conor Benn next weekend, but the Californian believes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1183218,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,79,16,15],"class_list":["post-1186458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1186458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1186458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1186458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1183218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1186458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1186458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1186458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
