Danny Garcia's clash with Luke Campbell scheduled for December

Danny Garcia will defend his unbeaten record against Luke Campbell in December with the interim WBC lightweight world title on the line

The World Boxing Council’s interim lightweight title fight, between the American ‘King’ Ryan Garcia (20-0, 17KOs) and Briton Luke Campbell (20-3, 16KOs), will take place on December 5, at a venue yet to be confirmed, which will be broadcast on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US.

Garcia, the 22-year-old WBC Silver Lightweight Champion (20-0, 17 KOs), has not fought since he knocked out Francisco Fonseca in the first round in February.

Olympic gold medallist Campbell is coming off a decision loss in a great fight against WBC franchise champion Vasyl Lomachenko of Ukraine in London in August of last year.

Garcia has been highly touted as the future of boxing, but Campbell is experienced, gutsy and wily, and many believe experience could conquer youth in this contest.

The pair have been set to face for a large chunk of the year but negotiations have been tough as a result of the pandemic, with an initial agreement being reached in August between Matchroom Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions.
