Conor Benn says being the underdog brings out his best, but his history in that role provides little evidence to support that claim heading into his September 12 fight against Ryan Garcia at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“I like being the underdog,” Benn told Sky Sports. “I think I perform at my best. Every single one of my fights has led me to this moment. All the pressure I’ve had early on has prepared me for nights like those.”
Benn has been the betting underdog in only two completed fights, both against Chris Eubank Jr. He lost their first meeting by unanimous decision in April 2025 before winning the rematch seven months later.
