Ryan Garcia and Luke Campbell will lock horns against each other shortly, with WBC Interim lightweight title at stake.

The young lightweight prodigies are seemingly in their prime, facing each other at the right time. However, the undefeated Garcia (20-0) will still have an advantage in the odds, citing his clean record and constant dominance.

Although Campbell is an elite lightweight, his recent defeat against Lomachenko has affected his in-ring threat. That said, Garcia is leaving no opportunity to mock his Brit rival.

While Campbell has already vowed to vanquish the ‘Golden Boy’ in their upcoming contest, Garcia has scrutinized Campbell openly on social media.

Ryan Garcia is not in the mood to go easy on Luke Campbell

The WBC silver lightweight champion turned to Twitter and left a string of messages to demean Luke ‘Cool Hand’ Campbell.

Talking about his crushing defeat against Vasiliy Lomachenko, Garcia said that he would have never flaunted the loss. Surprisingly, Cambell has done that. He appeared happy with his performance against ‘Loma’ and tagged it as a “good run”.

To mock the notion, Garcia took to Twitter again to say that he has never seen a boxer satisfied with a loss. No wonder, a clear mockery of an undefeated superstar.

However, boxing math often fails, and being upset is not a big deal. So, Garcia needs to be alert when he enters the ring against Luke Campbell, possibly in November.

Meanwhile, Garcia has been training hard as he continues to post his training videos on social media.

‘Golden Boy’ vs ‘Cool Hand’- a gateway for the lightweight thrillers

The currently lightweight roster has several big names that are still not tested against each other. Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, Vasiliy Lomachenko, Gervonta Davis, and the list goes on.

While they all are slated to go against their respective opponents, they are also being touted to face each other in the future.
