Conor Benn's world title fight against Ryan Garcia is nearing finalization, though contract terms still need agreement. The British fighter's trainer Tony Sims confirms negotiations are progressing for a WBC welterweight title bout. Garcia previously announced the September 12 showdown in Las Vegas, where he plans to make his first title defense.

Benn serves as Garcia's mandatory challenger after avenging his only loss against Chris Eubank Jr last November. The 29-year-old followed that victory with a dominant points win over Regis Prograis in April, solidifying his position as the top contender in the weight class.

The fight carries significant commercial value with both fighters being major draws in their markets. Garcia is a big name in America while Benn commands substantial popularity in the UK. Sims expects his fighter to approach with the same discipline shown in the Eubank rematch, giving Benn a legitimate chance to win the belt.
