Garcia wins World Title, was Benn wrong to leave Matchroom?

•

Ade Oladipo and Gareth A Davies unpack the weekend's action in the ring as Leigh Wood cruised past Josh Warrington in their long awaited rematch.


Meanwhile, Ade was ringside to see Ryan Garcia win his first World Title, defeating Mario Barrios to claim the WBC Welterweight strap.


It's been arguably more eventful outside the ring this week, Conor Benn shocked the world by announcing he will leave long-term promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom to team up with Zuffa Boxing, we discuss if loyalty has any place in boxing and we hear from Matchroom founder Barry Hearn who tells us how upset he is with what Benn has done.


And just when things couldn't get any stranger, Floyd Mayweather has announced his return to professional boxing to fight his former foe Manny Pacquiao on Netflix!
