Conor Benn publicly calls out fighter for his next bout after defeat to Chris Eubank Jr and it would break all records

Conor Benn has publicly called out a star fighter for his next bout following his defeat to Chris Eubank Jr.

Benn lost out to Eubank Jr., who edged out his rival by unanimous decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend.

The 28-year-old, who moved up two weight classes, suffered the first defeat of his professional career but gained plenty of new fans following his valiant showing.

There is a rematch clause in place but it appears Benn has set his sights on another big name.

He called out Ryan Garcia, who returns to action in Friday's Times Square event, to a stadium show later this year.

It comes after Garcia was asked about a potential showdown against the British talent.

Speaking at the Grand Arrivals ahead The Ring Magazine event in New York City, the American said: "Oh, yeah, that's a huge fight. I'm down for him to come over here and we could throw down. He had a great performance even though he lost and I see a lot of holes in his game.

"That was one of the best fights I've ever seen."

Reacting to his comments, Benn said: "I’ll be ringside to watch you get the job done Saturday then god willing we get it on later this year and pack a stadium out."

Garcia, 26, recorded the biggest win of his career in his last outing, beating Devin Haney.

But his victory was ruled a no contest after he failed a drug test.

He makes his anticipated return to the ring against Rolly Romero.

A victory over Romero could set up a monstrous clash against Benn, with Eddie Hearn talking up his fighter's 'massive' future.

"The future is massive for Conor Benn, the contract was a two-fight contract, the rematch is already contracted and done," he told Matchroom’s YouTube channel. "I said in the press conference after, 'we'll have to look at the weight classes and that', but Conor said to me on Sunday night, 'you thought that was a war? Wait until you see the rematch!'

"We're confident in terms of what Saturday will give him."

Hearn added: "The activity, the confidence, the weight, everything, he’s ready to go now! He’s back in the gym. We have to look, I want Conor to be a world champion, he’s proved he’s a world class fighter. But the rematch is twice as big as the first one.

"The numbers are huge, No. 2 will break records across the board. That’s what we signed up for, we’re in. We’ll wait for a date from His Excellency, he’s already made it clear, I think he’s said, ‘end of September back at Tottenham Hotspur’. Let us know the date and we’ll be there.”
