Conor Benn, of Great Britain, has been placed first in the world rankings behind Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title.
Benn, 29, hasn’t fought at the welterweight limit since February 2022 and is currently ranked fourth in the WBC.
Barrios is expected to face fellow American Ryan Garcia at the WBC’s annual convention, where the announcement was made.
On social media, Benn declared, “I’ll be watching Barrios-Garcia closely.
Barrios, 30, has won both of his WBC victories, most recently when he faced Manny Pacquiao in a contentious draw in July.
Benn has not fought any of the WBC welterweight competitors in the top 10 of the WBC welterweight rankings, despite the fact that Garcia, 27, is unranked.
In February, the Barrios-Garcia fight is anticipated.
This year, Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. won their second fight at middleweight, winning it last month.
