Boxing promoter Frank Warren has said that super-featherweight Ryan Garner is “on the verge” of fighting for a world title.
‘The Piranha’ eased past Cristian Bielma on Saturday night, stopping his Mexican opponent in the third round of their contest at Dublin’s 3Arena.
After the fight, Warren shared how impressed he was with Garner’s performance and what could come next.
“He did everything that was asked of him tonight,” Warren said.
“He was right on point and when he had to step it up – which is what he did – he did it in great style.
“He’s there now, he’s on the verge of having a world title fight and he’s very capable of winning one.”
Bielma struggled to cause any problems for Southampton’s Garner during the bout and quickly had marks on his face after taking some punishing shots.
In the third round, the Mexican was backed into a corner where Garner let off a barrage of accurate shots to no reply which forced the referee to step in and end the fight.
