Garcia and Benn will headline the T-Mobile Arena in Las VegasGettyBenn spent 2025 bulking up to 160lbs for a pair of middleweight grudge matches with Chris Eubank Jr, before meeting Regis Prograis at a 150lbs catchweight in April.The 29-year-old must now shed a further 3lbs and appears to be struggling with the weight.Benn attracted major concern last week when he uploaded a series of pictures of himself looking very gaunt in camp.And he has now lifted the lid on the ‘excruciating’ reality of his weight cut.Conor Benn opens up on ‘brutal’ weight cut“It’s hard, it is brutal, but we are getting it done,” Benn told Ring Magazine.“I’m not going to be complaining and moaning. I know what I signed up for.“You are not going to see me posting posts for sympathy in sweat suits or me crying.“I’m getting paid handsomely. I’m fighting for a world title and headlining a mega fight in Las Vegas. What is there to moan about?“Listen, we know what we sign up for. Don’t sign the contract and want sympathy.“Yes, it’s going to be hard; yes, it is taking a piece out of my soul and my spirit to get down in weight; yes, it is excruciating, but it’s part of the job. It’s hard; your body is screaming.”Benn has left fans fearing the worst after uploading recent pictures of him looking very gauntInstagram - Conor BennConor Benn moving up in weight after Ryan Garcia fight Provided he beats Garcia, Benn says he will immediately vacate the green and gold strap and jump up three weight classes to compete at super middleweight.“There’s no excuses – it’s just my last fight at 147[lbs] to dominate, get the belt and move on,” Benn added.“Then [I’ll move up to] 168[lbs]. Yeah, I won’t be doing 154[lbs]. No way…“This was always going to be my last fight at 147[lbs].“It’s for the WBC world title. I wanted a world title shot at the weight I started my career at.“I sidetracked with the Eubank fight, but all roads have led back to this.”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.
