Conor Benn has conceded he isn't sure what's next following his Round 2 knockout defeat to Ryan Garcia.
WBC welterweight champion Garcia (26-2, 21 KOs) stopped Benn (25-2, 14 KOs) thanks to a statement right hand which floored the Brit in Round 2. While Benn got back to his feet, the fight didn't last much longer before referee Thomas Taylor stepped in.
The win was Garcia's fastest in six years and have Benn his second professional loss following a points defeat to Chris Eubank Jr. last year.
Before the fight, Benn said it would be his last bout at the 147 pound welterweight limit. He was open about his struggles cutting weight having had two fights against Eubank Jr. at 160 pounds in 2025.
On Monday, Benn said via a statement on social media he would be spending time with his family before looking at his next move.
"Everybody keeps asking "What's next for Conor Benn?" The truth is, I don't have the answer," Benn wrote.
"If you'd asked the 19 year old version of me whether I thought I'd be standing here ten years later, having lived through everything I have, I'd have told you that you were crazy.
"I train hard. I sacrifice. I've given this game 110% every time I've stepped through those ropes, I've wanted to give people unforgettable nights and entertain.
"That's what this has always been about for me."
Benn attempted to come out fast and disrupt Garcia in Las Vegas but struggled to land any meaningful shots in the first round.
"People spend their hard earned money to come and watch guys like us fight. I've never taken that for granted," he said. "I've always wanted to be a servant of the public and give everything I have when it matters. But giving everything comes at a cost.
"And the people who have paid that cost more than anyone are my family and my kids. They've sacrificed time with their Dad so I could chase this dream. They've had to share me with this sport their entire lives.
"So when people ask me what's next for Conor Benn, right now the answer is simple. Time with my kids."
In his post-fight news conference, Garcia said he thought Benn could come back, but lacked the experience to compete with him.
"It went kind of exactly how I imagined it. He was going to try and put pressure on me straight away," Garcia said.
"He was banking on the idea I may just start folding early on and maybe get tired. You can't jump in like that. It's not the move.
"He's exactly what I thought he was. He just needs to gain a little more experience. I don't think he has enough experience at this point, but I think he will be back."
Benn has four fights left on his multi-million dollar deal with Zuffa Boxing which runs until 2028.
