Luke Campbell is not an easy contender to beat. The Brit is a veteran in the sport with 20 wins and 3 losses in his seven-year career. He lost his last fight to Vasyl Lomachenko in 2019 and will look to derail the youngster.

In his last 2 fights, ‘King Ry’ knocked his opponents out cold in round 1 itself. He will employ his usual skills in this fight as well.

Despite this, Campbell won’t make it look like an easy fight. He will make Garcia earn every single point and try to avoid a fourth career loss. This fight promises to be a cracker of a contest, and one just cannot miss it.
