Garcia holds the WBC Silver Lightweight belt and seems to be the lucky individual to fill in for Javier Fortuna. Earlier ‘El Abejon’ was penciled in to box Luke Campbell for the Interim belt with a chance to face the full champion, Devin Haney, in a unification contest. 

However, ‘El Abejon’ opted to face former World Champion Jorge Linares for a diamond title. This decision left ‘Cool Hand’ without an opponent. The Brit last competed in August 2019 and fell to Vasiliy Lomachenko who reigns as a Franchise Champion. 

Following the franchise tag and Haney’s injury, the Interim bout was earlier for the full title. However, due to delays owing to the coronavirus pandemic, the governing body reinstated Haney as a full champion from his “Champion in recess” tag.

A per the reinstatement clause, ‘The Dream’ has to face Campbell or his opponent. A present with the way things stand it most likely to be Garcia. 

‘King-Ry’ will look to make it a hat-trick of first-round finishes and build on the momentum by proving himself against an experienced opponent. 

What do you make of Ryan Garcia’s declaration and his desire to get the Luke Campbell match set in stone and orchestrate his rise to the pinnacle of the boxing world?
