Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn is the hottest fight of the summer, the WBC welterweight title fight headlining a Zuffa Boxing card has the boxing fans amped up and ready for a real offensive showdown. The Co-feature Jai Opetaia vs Noel Mikaelian could steal the show since both cruiserweights pack a punch.
Garcia (25-2, 20 KOs), the American champion who captured the belt earlier in 2026 by defeating Mario Barrios, makes his first defense against Britain’s Conor Benn (25-1, 14 KOs). Benn, a hard-hitting mandatory challenger and son of former world champion Nigel Benn, seeks his first world title in a stylistically intriguing clash between Garcia’s speed and power and Benn’s pressure and aggression. The 12-round bout takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The co-main event features undefeated Australian cruiserweight Jai Opetaia (30-0) defending his Zuffa Boxing and The Ring magazine titles against Noel Mikaelian (also known as Noel Gevor, with a record around 28-3). Opetaia, a dominant force in the division, looks to continue his title reign, while Mikaelian aims for an upset in this 12-round championship clash that adds significant depth to the card.
