“So I’m going to be ready to go into the trenches and be ready for war and come out on top.

One fight isn’t more special than the other. Every fight is to get you to the top.

“I’m climbing that mountain, so every fight matters. This fight matters just as much as the last one, so I’m going to be bringing Everything I’ve got.

“When I’m in camp, it’s a different type of mindset. Nothing can bother me outside of the ring. When I start sparring all the time, I’m just going to be thinking about boxing. I like that feeling, though. It keeps my mind straight,” said King Ryan.

It’s quite obvious that Campbell is the biggest fight of Ryan’s career, as he’s not fought anyone talented. Up until now, journeyman Carlos Morales is the best name on Garcia’s resume. So someone like Campbell is a major step up in class.

Golden Boy Promotions had talked of wanting to put together a fight between Ryan and former three-division world champion Jorge Linares, but it couldn’t be made.

The pandemic got in the way of that fight, which is a good thing for Ryan. Linares beat Campbell a couple of years ago, and he’s looking good right now. A couple of weeks ago, Linares said in an interview that Ryan isn’t ready to fight someone like him, and he would have lost.

King Ryan Focused On Campbell

“All this work and stress, it’s finally happened, but this is the biggest fight of your career, in my opinion, at this moment,” said Ryan Garcia’s manager Guadalupe Valencia.
