"I still gotta become bigger" - Sean O'Malley claims he's two fights away from blockbuster boxing clash against Ryan Garcia

Sean O'Malley recently shared his thoughts on a potential bout against Ryan Garcia and claimed that a blockbuster boxing clash between them could be on the horizon.

Garcia is coming off an incredible performance against Devin Haney this past weekend, which saw him earn a majority decision win. It's no secret that 'Suga' has always wanted to test himself in the boxing ring and he expressed interest in fighting 'KingRy'.

During a recent episode of his TimboSugaShow podcast via Championship Rounds, the reigning UFC bantamweight champion noted that he believes he still needs to become a bigger star. He even claimed that he had been informed that the promotion would allow him to compete in a boxing bout if it was lucrative for them. He said:

"I still gotta become bigger. Two more f***ing sick performances, then we're talking about being able to do whatever the f*** we want. They [UFC management] told me, 'You can do a boxing fight one hundred percent, if it makes us enough money'. The option is there, it just has to be able to make enough money but Ryan [Garcia] being a fu**ing freak like that, you need two A-sides to make a fu**ing Floyd-Conor fight."

It will be interesting to see whether O'Malley vs. Garcia materializes in the future as that could be a very lucrative fight for all involved.
