What Ryan Garcia said
Garcia has been out of the ring since his controversial win over Devin Haney last year, a result later overturned to a no contest after a failed drug test. Benn has been calling for high-profile fights while continuing to box outside Britain following his own testing issues. Both men have been active on social media in recent months.
What it moves
Garcia's call-out suggests negotiations for a Benn fight are underway, though neither promoter has confirmed terms. Benn has repeatedly said he wants to face top Americans. If the fight happens, it would pair two of boxing's most scrutinised names in a bout carrying significant risk for both men's reputations.
