Ryan Garcia, the newly crowned boxing champion, has responded to UFC champion Sean O’Malley’s call-out following his impressive victory over Devin Haney. Garcia, who dropped Haney three times during their bout, has dismissed concerns about his mental state and is eager to prove his worth as a world champion.
Garcia’s victory over Haney was overshadowed by his failure to make weight, rendering him ineligible for his rival’s belt. Despite this setback, Garcia remains confident in his abilities and has welcomed O’Malley’s proposal for a boxing match.
However, Garcia has expressed a preference for a cage fight instead of a boxing encounter, believing it would be a more equitable contest. He has reached out to UFC president Dana White to gauge his interest in an octagon showdown with O’Malley.
Garcia acknowledges that a boxing match against O’Malley would likely end in his favor. Nonetheless, he is eager to test himself in the realm of MMA and believes that with proper training and guidance from experienced fighters, he can overcome O’Malley’s skills in the UFC.
Garcia’s response has sparked excitement among fans of both boxing and MMA, who are eager to witness a potential clash between the two champions. Whether the fight takes place in the boxing ring or the UFC octagon remains to be seen, but Garcia’s willingness to embrace the challenge has set the stage for an intriguing showdown.
