Garcia faced the biggest test of his professional career when he came up against the Brit in Texas.

But the rising star ensured all eyes were on him before the lightweight showdown got underway.

After 33-year-old Campbell casually strolled to the ring, Garcia stepped things up a gear.

The 22-year-old was carried into the arena on a throne by five members of his team.

He wore a gold wreath as he waved to his fans at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Despite his entrance, the fight did not get off to the best of starts for the Mexican-American.

Garcia was dropped for the first time in the second round, but managed to bounce back in style.

The hard-hitting 22-year-old ended the contest with an incredible body shot in the seventh round.
