British boxer Conor Benn will challenge WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia Saturday night in Las Vegas, and in his corner for his shot at the title will be Off-White. Together with his longtime sponsor Everlast and luxury fightwear specialists Bespoke Boxing, Off-White has created an armor-like kit for Benn to wear for his ring entrance and the match itself. The sparkling black ensemble casts Benn as a “Dark Knight” in reference to Garcia’s “King Ry” nickname and the chess concept known as a “smothered mate,” in which the king becomes trapped in a corner by its own pieces and is vanquished by a knight. “Everlast has been there from day one and this kit, for this fight, feels different,” Benn said in a press release. “Every detail has a meaning. It’s another part of the story, and now I just have to finish it in the ring.” You May Also Like Throughout the lead-up to fight night, Benn will wear a series of bespoke pieces including a reimagining off Off-white’s bulletproof vest and a tracksuit. “We’re incredibly proud to continue building on Off-White’s longstanding connection to the sport and to partner with Everlast once again,” Joey Gabbay, chief executive officer of Off-White parent company Bluestar Alliance, said. “This next chapter expands the collaboration beyond the ring through a product collection available at retail. It’s an exciting opportunity to make the partnership more tangible and accessible to both brands’ global communities.” For public consumption will come a run of five co-branded graphic T-shirts ranging from $260 to $290 and a set of boxing gloves for $500. Everlast and Off-White previously linked to outfit Terence Crawford in his 2025 bout against Saúl Alvarez.
