Former IBF World Middleweight Champion, Kell Brook<\/a>previously called to remove the internal dust from Conor Ben<\/a>. Now “Special K” has predicted how Ben will fight for his first world title against WBC title holder Ryan Garcia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ben and Brooke were linked with a bout in May 2023 when the pair came apart in a ringside confrontation in Dublin<\/a>but the fight never happened, in part because Ben surrendered his BBBofC license after the infamous failed drug test.<\/p>\n

Instead, Ben fought twice in the US at super-middleweight and then boxed twice with fierce rival Chris Eubank Jay at middleweight before announcing plans to return to middleweight and compete for world honours.<\/p>\n

Back at 147lbs, Ben stepped into the ring against Regis Progress earlier this year in a 150lb bantamweight contest and was unhappy but still got his title shot, the fight against Garcia is now officially confirmed.<\/p>\n

Speaking at St Fight Your Corner Podcast<\/a>Kell Brook was looking forward to the fight and admitted that while he gives Benn “a good chance”, he feels Garcia’s strength means the Californian’s victory is more likely.<\/p>\n

\n

“I give him (Ben) a good chance, but I’m leaning towards Garcia winning the fight, I do. In his last fight, he boxed well, but in the fight before, he didn’t box that well. I just think he’s going to be on top, they’re champions, and I think we’re going to see the best of both of them. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I just think Garcia has a get-out-of-jail-free card. When I was boxing with Sean Porter, I went to Vegas to finish sparring, and I was sparring with some good kids. I put it on that kid and got a really good sparring, I hit hard.<\/p>\n

“After we had something to eat, I said who’s the biggest puncher you’ve ever had, remember I’m a lot older than Garcia, and he said, ‘I’ve never been hit as hard as Ryan Garcia.’ The punching power he has, that push (is impressive).”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Garcia-Benn takes place on Saturday, September 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is expected to feature undefeated heavyweight Jai Apetaya on the undercard. <\/span><\/p>\n
