Ryan Garcia has dismissed Conor Benn as an "average fighter" who does not deserve a shot at his WBC welterweight title. The two boxers have documented their fight camps on social media, but have presented their preparations in different ways. Benn has posted videos of his training regime, while Garcia has been collaborating with influencers and making appearances in the WWE.

"He's not my cup of tea. I wouldn't want to hang out with him too much," Garcia said. "He's a bit of a hypocrite and contradicts himself a lot. I am who I am - goofy and outgoing, making jokes and having fun."

The WBC champion continued his critique of Benn's public persona. "He is trying to say he's humble, but he's out here any chance in a Rolls Royce. He loves the lights. He thinks I'm like that, but I'm focused on my craft 100%." Garcia's comments escalate the war of words ahead of a potential matchup, questioning both Benn's skill level and his authenticity outside the ring.
