Ryan Garcia could have a massive challenge on his hands after his victory against Conor Benn.
‘King Ry’ looked nothing short of sensational en route to securing a second-round knockout victory against ‘The Destroyer’.
Ryan Garcia could fight Teofimo Lopez next
In front of a packed crowd at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Ryan Garcia destroyed Conor Benn.
From the first bell, the Mexican-American connected with rapid hooks that left the Brit in a daze.
And while Benn tried to bully his way into the contest, he was ultimately found wanting in the skill department.

In the second segment, Garcia detonated a right hand that exploded on his rival’s chin, sending him tumbling towards the canvas.
Showcasing his warrior spirit, Benn beat the count, but he was nothing more than a sitting duck, with the WBC welterweight world champion closing the show with a barrage of punches.
However, while he could’ve basked in the glory of his win, Garcia swiftly called out the man with whom he wants to share the ring with next.
During his post-fight interview, the 28-year-old exclaimed: “Unified time. Where you at, Teofimo Lopez?”
The WBA world champion, who was in attendance, attempted to get into the ring to confront his rival, prompting Garcia to shout back: “If you want to get crazy, we can get crazy. I can beat you right now.”
Why Ryan Garcia vs Teofimo Lopez might not happen next
Garcia vs Lopez would undoubtedly capture the imagination of fans around the globe.
However, there’s no guarantee it comes to fruition anytime soon.
Jack Catterall, who holds the WBA Regular world title, is mandated to face the American-Honduran, putting a massive spanner in the works for anyone who wants to see the superstars battle it out.
