Ryan Garcia defeated Luke Campbell with a vicious body shot in round 7. ‘King Ry’ became the WBC Interim lightweight champion with this cracking win. He is now the number 1 contender for a title shot against Devin Haney. However, his fans wish to see him go up against fellow American and lightweight stalwart, Gervonta Davis.

The combat sports audience is well aware of the feud between Garcia and Davis. The duo shares an extensive beef and never fail to target each other. Recently, ‘King Ry’ painted shots at his nemesis while he was in a chat with Mark Kriegel.

Garcia recalled a few dreadful anecdotes back from his school days and related it to ‘Tank’.

He said, “I grew up in an area where there were a lot of Tanks. I got bullied a lot by the kids next door. The kids at school, they would make fun of me [and] throw me on the ground. I was scared of confrontation.”

The WBC silver champion didn’t budge on adding his name to the list of bullied athletes. He revealed that he was one who always feared facing those kids who bullied him. ‘KingRy’ continued, “When I see Tank, I see that bully.”

Garcia feels those instances from his high-school time will fuel him against ‘Tank’. He even said Garcia vs Davis is going to be the biggest fight in lightweight history. “I have to make the bully want to bully me or shame him. I got to do something to get him in that ring,” he concluded.

On the flip side, his rival ‘Tank’ is currently unaligned with any opponent. Needless to say, if Garcia gets past Haney by mid-2021, a ferocious war between him and Davis will be on the cards by year-end.
