Ryan Garcia calls out Shakur Stevenson after WBC title win
Speaking in comments shared via Ring Magazine, Garcia said: “You know who I want. He’s right there. Shakur Stevenson. Let’s go. Let’s run that s___. I want to be a great champion, and I’m not scared of s___.
He added: “I fought Devin Haney. I’ll fight Shakur Stevenson. I’ll fight anybody. Let’s f______ go.”
The newly crowned champion made it clear that he views Stevenson as the defining challenge at this stage of his career. Garcia’s willingness to reference past elite opposition underlines his belief that he belongs among the sport’s most fearless competitors.
A fight between Garcia and Stevenson would pit contrasting styles against one another, with Garcia’s speed and aggression facing Stevenson’s defensive precision and ring IQ.
Ryan Garcia is confident in power edge over Stevenson
Garcia doubled down on his confidence, stating, “The thing is, you’ve got to have some punching power to get me off you as I’m not going to hit him light. I want that fight. Shakur, let’s get it.”
The remark points to Garcia’s belief that his physicality and knockout threat would be decisive factors in a potential clash. Stevenson has built his reputation on technical mastery and defensive awareness, but Garcia suggests sustained power could disrupt that rhythm.
With Garcia now holding WBC gold at welterweight, the callout adds intrigue to the division’s landscape. Whether negotiations follow remains to be seen, but the message from Garcia was unmistakable.
He wants Stevenson next, and he wants it soon.
