ryan garcia He picked up where he left off on social media last night, showing the opposite attitude. conor ben.
The two had been exchanging social insults throughout the day, which Ben admitted was surprising.
“Ryan wasn't on my radar,” Ben said. “He can come here if he wants. I'm no Luke Campbell either, so this is definitely the next fight I want to take. I'll take it right away.”
Benn opens by saying that Haney has come up off the floor three times on this card to admit he lost and chose Garcia to win. Ben also left an open invitation: “I'm willing to fight any of these guys.”
Garcia did not take the challenge lightly and responded: “Let's run in his O2 in London. I'll break his spleen. [sic] And eat it. ”
Ben then said he would “slam his teeth into Garcia's neck,'' to which Garcia replied, “You know I'm talking about business, but how dare you not even fight in your own country.'' ?” he answered.
This was in reference to Benn's ongoing dispute with the British Boxing Board of Control and UKAD after failing two PED tests almost two years ago. Ben has since continued his career, first in Florida and then in Las Vegas, amid a protracted feud in which he proclaimed his innocence.

Benn is currently being courted by some of America's top fighters and wants an important fight and would be happy to face Garcia.
The 27-year-old British player continued: “These fights were unthinkable for me, but with everything going up to 147, Haney put my name up, Gervonta Davis put my name up, [Adrien] Broner said my name, another American said my name, but when it comes to putting pen to paper, they don't want it. ”
Garcia then brought up a fight at London's O2 Arena, while Benn said he was happy to pack up and return to America.
“I can do it in Las Vegas, I can do it here,” Ben told BoxingScene. “The board doesn’t want me here right now, so let me do it over there.”
