The coming weekend, Luke Campbell will face the toughest opponent of his career. He will collide with America’s young dynamite, Ryan Garcia.

The duo has been sweating a lot in the gym, ahead of this captivating clash. Garcia’s rigorous training videos are certainly fan favorites. But lately, a few of his videos didn’t quite impress his foe, Luke Campbell.

The Brit said, “When you have that amount of followers, you have to keep them interested with stuff, videos. For me, I prefer to just live my life. I’ve not followed his career. I’ve had no reason to.”

He admitted that Garcia has a huge fanbase on social media. So all that training and workout stuff he posts is just for enticing the crowd. He felt every boxing trainee can hit thousands of punches on the pads, but in reality, very few of them can do so.

“It all looks good on video, but there’s plenty of kids out there who can hit the pads quickly, it’s not real.”

Campbell seemed uninterested in Garcia’s training videos. He believes his focus is on himself and wants to make himself better than anyone else.
