Since there was such a long time between the announcement and the fight, there has been ample time for a verbal battle. The two have engaged in a back-and-forth on multiple occasions and have not held back.
Garcia said he is going to turn the Brit into Campbell soup and worries about his health. While Campbell has pointed out that Garcia is fake and his social media status means nothing.

For safety reasons, there was a transparent barrier between the two, and that played a part in the subdued face off. Although fans who love the drama in the sport will still be disappointed as there was no trash talk involved.
