This highly anticipated title fight marks Zuffa Boxing's first super fight on the platform. Taking place during Mexican Independence Day weekend, Ryan Garcia, a Mexican-American professional boxer and the current welterweight world champion, will face Conor Benn, a British professional welterweight boxer known as "The Destroyer." The highly anticipated matchup brings together two of boxing's most recognizable stars in a marquee showdown on one of boxing's biggest annual stages. While world class boxing on Mexican Independence Day weekend is traditionally sold as a major pay-per-view event, this fight will be available to Paramount+ subscribers as part of their existing subscription. The fight streams live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
In the co-main event, undefeated Australian star and reigning Zuffa Boxing cruiserweight world champion Jai Opetaia puts his title on the line against former champion Noel Mikaelian in a high-stakes showdown between two of the division's elite.
