Not bad for a man unfairly labelled as just an 'Instagram boxer', eh?

After the fight, Garcia revelled in the fact that he had shown the world he's about far more than just his sizeable social media following.

"I think I showed a lot of people who I really am. I showed today I am special," he told DAZN, per BBC.

"They wanted to show me as a social media fighter. Anybody who puts you down, remember you're not who people tell you who you are - you are who you choose to be. I chose to be a champion tonight.

"He caught me, I was like, 'I got dropped, this is crazy'. I've never been dropped in my life. I had to adjust. I knew I could beat him, I just had to get back up."

Garcia proceeded to call out Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis for all-American showdowns following his victory over Campbell, two fights that boxing fans would love to see in 2021.

The lightweight division is quickly becoming the most sport's most exciting.
