After the confrontation on September 12 was officially confirmed, American boxer Ryan García reactivated the verbal confrontation with Conor Benn ahead of what will be his first defense of the World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight belt.

The contest, which will be held at the facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada, under the guidelines of the promoter Zuffa Boxing, has already caused various interactions between both athletes on digital platforms.

The viability of the lawsuit in the North American territory has divided opinions regarding the technical level of the competitors. While the British corner team hopes to register its first victory on American soil, the defending champion has underestimated the physical capabilities of its opponent ahead of the commitment at the end of the summer calendar.

The crossing of warnings on social networks

The European challenger began hostilities by publishing a message on his social networks to celebrate the completion of the Las Vegas card, which will have international television coverage. "You talk too much. I'm going to break your head," Benn wrote, prompting a direct response from Ryan García through the same digital communication channel hours later.

The 147-pound monarch dismissed his opponent's performance and assured that the British challenger made a planning error by accepting a challenge for which he does not have the necessary preparation. "I told you in person that you are not good enough to beat me. You have gotten yourself into this mess, I am going to teach you the lesson of rushing into something you are not prepared for," Ryan García responded directly.

Unofficial differences and the origin of the rivalry

The tension between both athletes is not limited to the immediate sporting level, since the constant comments about the identity of the boxers have been present during the last weeks of the sporting calendar. During the course of the recent FIFA tournament, Benn rebuked Ryan García for wearing t-shirts of various national teams as a sign of support. Using his Instagram account and writing in Spanish, the challenger questioned the origin of the boxer with Mexican roots, pointing out directly: "Hey, Ryan, you're an asshole, you're not Mexican. Stop lying to people."

To justify his position and stop the controversy over his national identity, Ryan García turned to his broadcast profiles to detail his family origin in the face of doubts from fans of the discipline. "For all those who wonder why I am going for three teams. My family and my heritage are from Mexico, I am part Portuguese, and I am American, it is quite simple. Ultimately, I am part of the kingdom of God and that is above all," the athlete clarified on his social networks.

With the contractual signatures already sealed for the evening of September 12, the work teams will continue analyzing the variables of the combat before the formal start of the preparation camps.

The development of the training sessions in the coming weeks will determine if the 147-pound monarch manages to consolidate his reign or if the European corner manages to surprise at the T-Mobile Arena.
