No talks for Benn to fight Garcia - De La Hoya

Oscar de la Hoya stated on May 14, 2024, that no discussions are occurring for a boxing match between WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn. De la Hoya, who promotes Garcia, clarified that while Garcia is a major draw, there are no active negotiations for a bout with Benn. Garcia recently competed against Devin Haney on April 20, 2024, in a highly anticipated fight. Benn, on the other hand, last fought in February 2024. The absence of talks suggests that any potential fight between Garcia and Benn is not imminent, despite both being prominent figures in the welterweight division. De la Hoya's comments aim to manage expectations regarding future matchups for his promoted fighter, Ryan Garcia.
