Luke Campbell is the WBC mandatory fight and was patiently waiting for the now emeritus champion Mikey Garcia to defend the belt before he opted to vacate the belt. Campbell tweeted a reply, cooling off the rumors.

Don’t believe everything you read on social media. The fight is not confirmed yet. Stay tuned, real fight news coming soon!
