Ilia Topuria, the UFC star preparing for a significant lightweight title unification fight against Justin Gaethje on June 14, has reignited interest in a boxing match with Ryan Garcia. Topuria, known for his boxing prowess within the UFC, claimed he would find a fight with Garcia 'very comfortable,' suggesting he could 'break' Garcia before the judges are needed. In response, Garcia urged Topuria to 'stay in his lane,' asserting that he would leave Topuria 'eating through a straw' if they faced off in the ring. Garcia emphasized that he has built his reputation by defeating notable opponents, while he believes Topuria's success is largely due to hype. Meanwhile, Garcia announced his upcoming fight with Conor Benn, although the logistics of such a match remain uncertain due to potential conflicts between their respective promoters, Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya. This exchange adds to Topuria's history of verbal sparring with boxing champions, highlighting his ambition to crossover into boxing.
