Conor Benn has expressed uncertainty about his boxing future following a decisive defeat to welterweight world champion Ryan Garcia. The bout took place in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday morning, where Benn was stopped inside two rounds.

The loss marked a significant setback for Benn, who had hoped to emulate his father Nigel Benn’s achievements by reaching the top tier of professional boxing. Reflecting on his career, Conor Benn acknowledged the challenges and sacrifices involved in pursuing his ambitions.

“Everybody keeps asking, ‘What’s next for Conor Benn?’ The truth is, I don’t have the answer,” Benn said. He added that if someone had asked his 19-year-old self whether he would still be competing at this level 10 years later, he would have been skeptical. Benn emphasized his dedication, noting that he has consistently trained hard and given his all in the ring to entertain fans and honor his commitment to the sport.

However, he recognized the personal cost of his career, highlighting the impact on his family. “The people who have paid that cost more than anyone are my family and my kids,” Benn said. He described how his loved ones have sacrificed time with him as he pursued his boxing dreams, sharing him with the demands of the sport over the years.

For now, Benn indicated that he intends to prioritize time with his children. When asked about his next steps, he responded simply, “Right now the answer is simple – time with my kids.” The future direction of his boxing career remains unclear.
