Conor Benn says he does not know what is next in his career after a crushing world title defeat by Ryan Garcia.

The Briton was stopped in the second round on Saturday – only the second loss of his 10-year professional career – as American Garcia retained his WBC welterweight crown in Las Vegas.

Benn, 29, was fighting at welterweight for the first time in more than four years and had said the fight would be his last in the division.

“Everybody keeps asking ‘what’s next for Conor Benn? The truth is, I don’t have the answer,” he wrote on Instagram., external

“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.”
