Fellow American Stevenson, 28, smiled, nodded his head and clapped as Garcia added: “I want to be a great champion, I’m not scared.

“I fought Devin Haney. I’ll fight you, Shakur Stevenson. I’ll fight anybody.”

Garcia was then told Stevenson had said he was “levels above” him right now, to which he replied: “You’ve got to have some type of punching power to get me off you, because it’ll just be a different style – and I’m not going to hit him light.”

Garcia was given a one-year ban for failing a drugs test in 2024 after beating Haney, with the victory overturned and the fight recorded as a ‘no contest’.

The win for Garcia was his first since a shock points loss to Rolando Romero last year and improves his record to 25 victories and two defeats.

Barrios was upgraded from interim to full WBC champion in June 2024 and had made two previous successful defences via draws, retaining his title with a majority draw against a then 46-year-old Manny Pacquiao last summer.

Andrade El Idolo once again channeled his inner charm while interacting with a female fan at ringside on AEW Collision this week. The latter’s identity has now been revealed on social media.

Ever since he returned to action in All Elite Wrestling earlier this year, Andrade has been in the form of his life. With his sights set on the AEW Men’s World Title, he racked up a number of impressive singles victories, including wins against former champions Swerve Strickland and Kenny Omega. Last month at Grand Slam Australia, he faced Adam Page for a shot at MJF’s “Triple B” at Revolution 2026, but unfortunately came up short against The Hangman.

El Idolo did end up on the pay-per-view card, however, as he answered Bandido’s challenge for a singles bout this Sunday. Ahead of that, on AEW Collision, the luchador battled Mascara Dorada one-on-one. Like he has been doing for a few weeks now, Andrade once again flirted and took a selfie with a female fan at ringside. The latter, a pro-wrestler named Simone Williams, has now taken to X/Twitter to share her photograph with the former WWE superstar.

“Collision looks wayyy hotter from this angle 😛 #[AllEliteWrestling]Collision,” said the caption.
