Luke Campbell will have a special opportunity on Jan. 2 in Indio, Calif.
That’s when the 2012 Olympic gold medalist from England will face Ryan Garcia in a lightweight bout that was rescheduled after Campbell tested positive for COVID.19 earlier this month.
Garcia is one of the hottest young fighters in the world, with one-punch knockout power and a massive social media following.
Campbell (20-3, 16 KOs) already is regarded as one of the best 135-pounders in the world. However, a victory over the hot-shot from America would give his career a tremendous boost.
The resident of Hull has fought twice for world titles — against Jorge Linares and Vasiliy Lomachenko — but fell just short each time.
In this episode of Boxing with Chris Mannix, courtesy of DAZN, the host interviews Campbell about the challenge he faces against Garcia (20-0, 17 KOs).
Here’s what he had to say.
