Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn have successfully made weight for their blockbuster WBC welterweight clash in Las Vegas on Saturday.After telling talkSPORT about his hellish weight cut that left him ‘sobbing and crying,’ Briton Benn made the 147lbs limit for the first time in four years, tipping the scales at 146lbs on Friday.Benn makes his second appearance for UFC CEO White’s Zuffa Boxing on Saturday and can become a world champion for the first time when he fights champion GarciaGettyIt is the first time Benn has come in at 146lbs since stopping Jussi Koivula at London’s York Hall in June 2019.He contested his last bout — a points win over Regis Prograis — at a 150lbs catchweight and both of his fights against Chris Eubank Jr in 2025 at middleweight.The 29-year-old last fought in the welterweight division against Chris van Heerden in April 2022, when he weighed 146.5lbs.Garcia, meanwhile, came in at 145.5lbs, slightly lighter than the 146.5lbs he weighed ahead of claiming the WBC belt against Mario Barrios in February.Benn silences Garcia’s weight fearsThe American felt during Thursday’s press conference that Benn was struggling to make weight, saying his opponent needed to ‘hit that bathtub’ to shed the extra few pounds necessary.Benn responded by telling Garcia he will be ‘disciplined’ and is ‘prepared for a hard fight.’It was also during the presser that Garcia confirmed his team requested to allow both fighters to wear 8oz gloves if either man came in over the welterweight limit.Garcia said he made the request to ensure he could still fight with 8oz gloves if Benn missed weight, as, in Nevada, fights above 148lbs require 10oz gloves, per Chris Mannix‘s original report.The request, accepted by Team Benn, was always viewed as a precautionary measure, as both camps believed they were on track to make weight.But it won’t be necessary, as both men have passed their respective weight tests with flying colours.View Tweet: https://x.com/hashtag/GarciaBenn?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwThis is how Garcia and Benn compared ahead of their huge US vs UK clash in Sin CityGetty/talkSPORTWhen he spoke to talkSPORT during fight week, Benn described just how difficult it had been to make 147lbs.“I’ve been dragged down to the pits of hell, had a fight with Satan, and come back to life,” he said.“When I mean hard, I mean hard. That’s why I’m going straight to 160lbs after this.“This is the fight. This is the real fight. I have been dying for 15 weeks…“I’m on almost a 1000 calorie deficit a day. When I talk about the emotional breakdowns I’ve had in camp.“I’ve been sobbing, crying, can’t even get up the stairs. To that degree.“To now get here and feel unbelievable. But I had to do those hard yards — I’d rather it be hard then, and easy now.”Benn remains adamant that he will head straight back up to middleweight after fighting Garcia.His sole objective is to claim the green and gold belt — following in the footsteps of his father, legendary boxer and 2026 International Hall of Fame inductee Nigel Benn, who held the super middleweight version from 1992 to 1996.Watch Boxing on DAZN*If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenueSign up to DAZN to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate from just £24.99/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.Alternatively, DAZN Standard is just £15.99/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.Click here to sign up.
