The 147-pound panorama registers a decisive movement in its negotiating offices. The American monarch Ryan García and the British challenger Conor Benn are in the contractual resolution phase to define the terms of a confrontation that has captured the attention of the sector in view of the closing of the summer sports calendar.

According to a report published by the specialized portal BoxingScene, the representatives of both boxers are currently meeting in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, with the purpose of finalizing the final signatures.

Initial reports suggest that the official announcement of the billboard could be made this Friday, once the last administrative procedures between the promoting companies are overcome.

The negotiations in Las Vegas and the projected date

If the contractual signings are completed satisfactorily, Ryan García will make the first defense of his World Boxing Council welterweight world championship on September 12. The venue selected to host the actions in the ring will be the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, a common setting for high-profile commercial cards in North American territory.

The champion of the green and gold organization, who has a professional record of 25 victories with 20 definitions by knockout and only two defeats in his history, conquered the world belt during the past month of February.

Planning for the month of September seeks to take advantage of the audience window corresponding to the weekend of the Mexican national holidays.

Benn's status and the confrontation revelation

For his part, the British contender Conor Benn arrives at this opportunity as the number one ranked player on the official lists of the regulatory entity. The European athlete has just recorded a consistent performance after avenging a previous defeat against Chris Eubank Jr. in the previous season and subsequently beating the veteran Regis Prograis via cards during the month of April in the United Kingdom.

However, Benn's physical preparation represents one of the central points of analysis for specialists in the sporting discipline. This is because the European boxer, who has an undefeated record of 25 wins with one draw, has not recorded official weigh-ins within the regulatory limit of 147 pounds since the 2022 season.

The first public mention of the viability of this fight did not originate through the traditional information channels of the discipline.

Champion Ryan Garcia used an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to reveal his intentions to face Benn in advance, a strategy that accelerated planning meetings between advisors on both sides.

Legal tensions between development companies

Despite the willingness shown by the athletes to get into the ring, the working groups face a complex legal panorama due to the corporate interests at stake.

The main source of administrative friction lies in the current relationship between the company Golden Boy Promotions, in charge of representing Ryan García, and the firm Zuffa Boxing, a promoter linked to the European challenger.

The marked commercial differences between directors Oscar De La Hoya and Dana White have caused the work sessions in Las Vegas to be held under conditions of strict legal confidentiality. So far, the representation teams have not defined which of the corporations will assume leadership of the general production and digital transmission rights for the international market.

The resolution of these corporate details will determine the financial model of the event in the short term.

For Ryan Garcia, a victory will represent the consolidation of his reign in a new category, while Benn will look to emulate the historic achievements of his father, Nigel Benn, who was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame in Canastota.
