Ryan Garcia: record, next fight and profile →
Devin Haney respects Ryan Garcia’s ambition. Haney realizes Luke Campbell is clearly the best boxer Garcia will have faced in 21 professional fights. The WBC world lightweight champion considers Campbell a “talented” fighter whose experience and ring generalship make him a credible foe for his 22-year-old rival.
SAN ANTONIO – Teofimo Lopez thinks Luke Campbell’s boxing ability can cause difficulty for Ryan Garcia at times Saturday night. The unbeaten unified lightweight champion still suspects Garcia’s power will trump the British southpaw’s skills in their fight for the WBC interim 135-pound crown. From a business standpoint, Lopez (16-0, 12 KOs) wants Garcia to win because the 22-year-old contender is a popular American rival that the Brooklyn native eventually can fight.
Don’t expect Luke Campbell to be impressed by Ryan Garcia. And much as Garcia is seeing Campbell as a stepping stone to the top when they meet in Texas on Saturday night, Campbell sees the young American in much the same way.
DALLAS - Ryan Garcia has not at all been cryptic in his desire to clean out the lightweight division, though the dream fight which he most craves is much bigger in notoriety and in size. The unbeaten lightweight contender remains supremely confident ahead of Saturday’s interim title fight versus England’s Luke Campbell, to the point where Garcia is calling out his next opponent. On the short list of big fights in the 22-year old’s future is a showdown with fellow unbeaten budding superstar Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis (24-0, 23KOs), with the intention of lining up that fight in the first half of 2021.
DALLAS—A fighter expressing interest in lining up his next foe ahead of his toughest task to date would normally serve as cause for concern. Ryan García recognizes the challenge he faces in his vacant interim lightweight title fight versus England’s Luke Campbell (20-3, 16KOs). That hasn’t prevented the 22-year old contender from calling out the world, including a hotly-desired showdown with fellow unbeaten budding star Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis (24-0, 23KOs) well before his upcoming fight with Campbell this Saturday at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Undefeated 17-year-old rising star, DJ “War Machine" Zamora lll (3-0, 2 KOs) spent the past month in training camp with WBC Silver Lightweight Champion, Ryan Garcia (20-0, 17 KOs), as Garcia's preps for his biggest test when he faces Olympic Gold medalist Luke Campbell (20-3, 16 KOs), on January 2, 2021.
By Cliff Rold - Everyone has the same questions when they start. The questions grow louder for those who garner fans sooner. Ryan Garcia’s social media following was there before he had what anyone would call quality wins. No fighter has those until they do. Garcia is a potential star already. He’s not quite proven as a real contender. With a win Saturday night (DAZN, 5 P...
DALLAS—The first indication of Ryan García’s star power outside of his home base couldn’t have been more pleasing to Golden Boy Promotions. A second batch of tickets have been made available García’s upcoming interim lightweight title fight bid versus England’s Luke Campbell, which airs live on DAZN this Saturday from American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The venue—which normally holds 20,000 during a healthy climate—was scaled down to just over 25% capacity in compliance with CDC standards.
The brass at Golden Boy Promotions is in full agreement that the upcoming fight with Luke Campbell was a necessary next step in the rising career of Ryan Garcia. While all remain confident in banking on the rising 22-year old to prevail, Garcia’s vow to walk through the veteran lightweight contender far exceeds the expectations surrounding this weekend’s DAZN headliner.
No fighter is ever a finished product, especially at the tender age of 22. The boxing public realizes that Ryan Garcia is still a work in progress. Garcia’s (20-0, 17 KOs) potential is a promising one, and he further wants to prove that with a win over Luke Campbell (20-3, 16 KOs) on Saturday at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas on DAZN.
