Follow Us
Oscar De La Hoya is looking forward to Ryan Garcia‘s speedy return to the ring following his devastating loss against Gervonta Davis on the 22nd of April. In this connection, the CEO of ‘Golden Boy Promotions’ publicly tweeted about the four potential opponents he had in mind for the 24-year-old. While in a recent interview De La Hoya announced he would permit Garcia the freedom to fight an opponent of his choice, he has now disclosed that he would meet Garcia’s team on Tuesday and decide.
According to De La Hoya’s statement, the four potential matchups for Garcia are “fire”. Likewise, he expressed that he could not wait to meet Garcia’s team. After Garcia publicly declared that he accepted Rolando Romero‘s challenge, the boxing world could not help but think of ‘Rolly’ as one of the potential opponents on De La Hoya’s list.

However, one fan said, “Hope one of them isn’t Rollie 🤦♂️.” This response rather infuriated De La Hoya and led the promoter to state, “So you are saying Rollie is not a good choice? What the f**k do you know?”
