CONOR BENN faces off against Ryan Garcia for the WBC welterweight crown TOMORROW in one of the biggest fights of the year, and there is a stacked card in Las Vegas.

It is Benn’s second fight for Zuffa Boxing after signing a lucrative multi-fight deal for Dana White’s promotion – he banked £11million for his debut win under the brand.
Champion Garcia won the belt after a convincing unanimous decision victory over Mario Barrios in February.
Also on the card is Zuffa’s cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia, who holds an undefeated 30-win record, including 23 knockouts.
The Australian is fighting veteran Armenian Norair Mikaeljan, who avenged his previous loss against Badou Jack with a dominant points victory.
