Conor Benn came up short against Ryan Garcia on Saturday night, with Garcia stopping the Brit in two rounds to hold on to the WBC welterweight belt. The defeat wrecked Conor's world title challenge. Nigel Benn was trackside for the contest. BBC coverage from the fight centred on Nigel's role, with him saying Conor lives through him and that he cannot walk away from his son. The BBC used that quote in headlines about the Benn boxing dynasty and the father-son bond.
