The two will headline a Zuffa Boxing card on Saturday, September 12, at T-Mobile Arena. Garcia will also occupy one of boxing’s most coveted dates, as Mexican Independence Day weekend has traditionally been a major showcase for Mexican fighters, with Canelo Alvarez headlining the weekend numerous times during his career.
Garcia enters his first title defense after defeating Mario Barrios by unanimous decision on February 21 to capture the WBC welterweight championship. Benn earned his opportunity after avenging his first professional loss with a unanimous-decision victory over Chris Eubank Jr. in November 2025.
