Ryan Garcia is probably the biggest lightweight boxing star at present. The young gun has repeatedly showcased his exemplary skill sets in the ring and has terrified every opponent he’s faced. In his last fight, Garcia overshadowed the Brit, Luke Campbell, to claim the WBC interim lightweight title. With this win, he made himself mandatory for the WBC champion Devin Haney. However, ‘King Ry’ is facing Javier Fortuna next instead of ‘The Dream’.

Speaking on this prevailing scenario, Garcia’s last opponent gave his take on the same and even discussed the Haney vs Garcia matchup.

I’m not sure why he went for that fight when he could have gone straight for the world title.

“He would beat Haney. Haney would try to make it a boring fight, but Garcia would beat him,” Campbell told Sky Sports.

On January 2, Campbell tasted the crushing power of ‘King Ry’. But he had a small win, as he was the first one to drop Garcia to the canvas. However, ‘King Ry’ showcased a champion mindset and overcame adversity to claim the win.

Hence, the 33-year-old feels that there’s no chance of Devin Haney beating Ryan Garcia by any means.
