Garcia and Benn Make Weight for WBC Welterweight Title Showdown

Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn successfully weighed in for their highly anticipated WBC welterweight championship fight, overcoming past controversies and concerns about their ability to make the limit.

Both fighters comfortably made the welterweight mark, setting the stage for a lucrative bout in Las Vegas. This fight represents a significant payday for both boxers, with reports suggesting a combined purse of around $30 million, a stark contrast to their previous career challenges, including drug test violations and suspensions.

The weigh-in itself saw a dramatic face-off, with Garcia engaging in taunts while Benn remained composed. The event also highlights the presence of Nigel Benn, Conor's father and a former world champion, who is supporting his son despite previous intentions to step back.
