Benn and Garcia, who both tested positive for banned substances in recent years, have been randomly tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association throughout their training camps.

While it was important to both of them to have thorough testing in place for their 12-round welterweight title fight, Garcia is confident he is so superior to Benn that he would win convincingly even if Benn beat a test and fought with a PED in his system Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.

“I don’t know if he’s even done it,” Garcia told The Ring regarding testing. “I know I’ve been getting tested randomly. I don’t really know his situation, and I don’t really give a f---. He could take steroids all he wants. Like I said, he’s not good enough. And, you know, I don’t really care.”

The Ring confirmed England’s Benn submitted blood and urine samples to VADA while preparing for a main event Paramount+ will stream in the United States (8 p.m. ET; 5 p.m. PT) and DAZN will offer in the United Kingdom and Ireland (1 a.m. BST). Paramount+ and DAZN Ultimate subscribers can watch the Garcia-Benn event for no additional charge, but DAZN will also offer the show on pay-per-view to non-subscribers in the UK and Ireland (£24.99).

Garcia (25-2, 20 KOs, 1 NC) is listed by DraftKings as more than a 3-1 favorite to beat Benn (25-1, 14 KOs), who will compete at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds for the first time since April 2022. Garcia, of Victorville, California, will make his first defense of the WBC welterweight title he took from Mario Barrios by winning a unanimous decision February 21 at T-Mobile Arena.

Benn, 29, is two years removed from the UK National Anti-Doping Panel lifting his suspension there after he twice tested positive for clomiphene before his ill-fated fight against rival Chris Eubank Jr. in October 2022. Their grudge match was abruptly scrapped during fight week nearly four years ago.

A slow-moving appellate process in the UK caused Benn to fight twice in the U.S. – in September 2023 and February 2024 – before he was allowed to box in England again.

The son of British legend Nigel Benn eventually split two 12-round middleweight fights with Eubank last year at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. After avenging his points loss to Eubank in their immediate rematch November 15, Benn unanimously outpointed Regis Prograis in another 12-rounder contested at a catch weight of 150 pounds April 11, also at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Garcia, 28, tested positive for ostarine after he recorded three knockdowns during a 12-round, majority-decision defeat of Devin Haney in April 2024 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Like Benn, Garcia adamantly denied knowingly using a PED. He was nonetheless suspended for one year by the New York State Athletic Commission, fined just over $1.2 million and had the result of his fight with Haney changed to a no-contest.

Garcia also came in more than three pounds overweight the day before he faced Haney. He officially weighed 143.2 pounds for what was scheduled as a fight for Haney’s WBC 140-pound championship.
