Frank Warren has suggested Conor Benn should retire following his second-round stoppage defeat by Ryan Garcia, Boxing News reported.
Garcia floored the 29-year-old with a right hand. Benn climbed off the canvas but was then stopped on his feet.
Speaking to IFL TV, the Queensberry promoter compared Benn’s level with that of Chris Eubank Jr: “He got destroyed. [He was] never going to win the [Garcia] fight. It’s the same as Chris Eubank Jr – they’re at a certain level. And that’s it.”
Benn lost his first middleweight meeting with Eubank by unanimous decision in April 2025 before winning their rematch with a dominant points performance later that year.
