Ryan Garcia is set for a defence of his WBC welterweight world title, taking on Conor Benn in six weeks’ time. Now, pound-for-pound superstar Canelo Alvarez has revealed his prediction for the fight. Benn was named as the WBC’s mandatory challenger earlier this year, despite having not fought at the weight since April 2022. When discussing the fight itself, Canelo admitted that he is favouring his former stablemate, believing that Garcia is capable of beating anyone on his day. “I know Conor too and I like Conor too, but I think that Ryan is a special fighter.”
