Ryan Garcia Suspended From Boxing After Knockout Win Over Conor Benn
GiveMeSport • • general
Key Points:
- Ryan Garcia defeated Conor Benn by second-round knockout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, successfully defending his WBC welterweight title for the first time.
- Benn was hospitalized immediately after the fight for precautionary medical checks, missing post-fight media obligations due to the knockout loss.
- Both fighters have been suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC); Benn faces a possible suspension of up to 60 days due to the severity of the knockout, while Garcia will be suspended for 7 to 14 days as per standard medical protocol.
- Benn's suspension length depends on whether the commission classifies the loss as a technical knockout or a full knockout, with the latter carrying a longer mandatory rest period.
- These suspensions mean Benn's recovery and potential comeback, as well as Garcia's next title defense, will be delayed until they are medically cleared to compete again.
