Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn Live Updates From Tonight's Ceremonial Weigh-In

Judging by a muscle-pocked abdomen, Conor Benn looks ready.

But the Englishman admitted he'd been through the "pits of hell" and "had a fight with Satan" while dropping weight over the last 15 months and trying to approach the 147-pound limit for Saturday's fight, having not hit that number or below since he KO'd Chris van Heerden in Round 2 in their 2022 matchup.

Benn was 150 or heavier for his next four fights after van Heerden and weighed 149.5 for a defeat of former 140-pound champ Regis Prograis in April.

"I'd rather it hard then than hard now," Benn said. "So it's easy now."
