Garcia announces Benn blockbuster in Las Vegas

Ryan Garcia has announced he will be fighting Conor Benn in a blockbuster encounter in Las Vegas on September 12th in the first defence of his WBC welterweight title.
Speaking on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show on Monday, Garcia said his next opponent was "from the other side," drawing a puzzled look from Fallon, who wondered aloud if the foe was an alien from a UFO.
