What Conor Benn said
Benn returned to the ring in 2024 after a two-year absence tied to failed drug tests. Garcia fought once last year, stopping Devin Haney in April before testing positive for ostarine and receiving a one-year suspension. Both men now compete at welterweight and have circled each other on social media for months.
What it moves
Speaking to BBC Sport, Benn said Garcia "throws his toys out of the pram on social media, throwing little tantrums". The remark suggests frustration over negotiations or Garcia's public statements about the fight. Garcia has yet to respond to Benn's comments.
