Luke Campbell will attempt to win his third world title shot in the first major boxing event of 2021 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.Britain’s former-Olympic Champion is set to take on LA Poster boy Ryan Garcia, who is remarkably 10 years younger than Campbell at just 22-years-old.In addition, he shoulders the expectation of Golden Boy Promotions, led by boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya.The night's opening bouts, meanwhile, will see Franchon Crews Dezurn take on Ashleigh Curry at super-middleweight and Sean Garcia will face Rene Marquez in a lightweight encounter. Indeed, it was somewhat of a surprise that De La Hoya approved this bout for his talented but still relatively inexperienced fighter against a boxer of Campbell’s calibre. The American, however, does boast an impressive undefeated record of 20 victories – 17 of them by way of knockout.When asked about his opponent Campbell said:“He may look a sensation throwing hundreds of punches on YouTube but that is very different from the tough challenge I will bring to the ring.“My far greater experience will count on the night.

“I am going to knock him out just as I would have done to every one of the soft opponents that he’s faced so far.”

Garcia, subsequently replied saying:

“Luke is about to find out that I’m not just an Instagram fighter. I will punish him for that opinion. I will knock him out.”

The man from Hull, meanwhile, is looking to bounce back from his last fight, which took place in 2019 and was a defeat at the hands of Vasyl Lomachenko in London.
