Conor Benn hands out a few compliments towards Ryan Garcia
Garcia vs. Benn live on DAZN PPV - Saturday
The buildup for Saturday's WBC welterweight title showdown between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn can be described as intense.
The pent-up frustration will be taken out inside the ring at T-Mobile Arena, live on DAZN PPV in select territories, including the UK and Ireland. Amid the chaos, one side of the equation had some positive things to say.
When asked ahead of Saturday's fight, Benn was complimentary of Garcia's boxing skills.
"He's good," Benn told DAZN about Garcia. "He's a good fighter. He's young. He's athletic. He's got fast hands. He can punch."
It didn't take long for the 29-year-old Englishman to flip the script and explain the attributes Benn believes will enable him to beat Garcia and win his first major world title.
"My tenacity. My ferocity. My resilience. My engine. My work ethic. My discipline. My mindset. They say a strong mind can carry a weak body," Benn explained. "But a weak mind can't carry a strong body."
