Ryan Garcia is back in the win column. Just hours ago, ‘KingRy,’ fought and defeated Oscar Duarte via a TKO. This recent win facilitated opportunities for him to fight for the world title in the super-lightweight division and many other intriguing match-ups. However, after moving up in weight division, from lightweight to super-lightweight, he called out another boxer who is now a world champion in the lightweight division.

The boxer is none other than Shakur Stevenson. Intriguingly, the two share history since the nascent stages of their career. So why is Garcia after him of all boxers out there?

Garcia and Stevenson were training partners back in their amateur days. Post his victory against Duarte, ‘KingRy,’ revealed there was always a certain level of resentment between them since the commencement of their career. Moreover, he welcomed a bout against, ‘Sugar,’ and is confident in his abilities to defeat him. This confidence stems from the fact that he believes the 3-division world champion to be a timid fighter.

He stated, “He is just been a hater since the amateurs, for real, and I want to fight him, I would beat his ass. I promise you that. I have been in the ring with them, he is cool but he is scared all the time. In a pro fight, it is not going to work.” 

A fight between the two would be a spectacle to witness. Only time can reveal if the bout will eventually take place or not. Now that we have taken a look at Garcia calling Stevenson out, let’s dive in on what went down when, ‘Sugar,’ called Garcia out.

According to Stevenson, their weight disparity would not be an obstacle as long as they compete in the lightweight division or at catch-weight. In addition, the undefeated boxer thinks he will defeat the 25-year-old Californian native. In a tweet made on X., he stated, “We could do a catch weight or he can come to 35 if he wants to finally become a world champion lol.”
