After Ryan Garcia declared his return to the 140 lbs division, boxing fans wondered about the opponent he would likely face in his comeback fight. However, Garcia soon declared he was ready to square off against Rolando Romero following the latter’s call-out in public. Meanwhile, the CEO of ‘Golden Boy Promotions’, Oscar De La Hoya announced he had four potential opponents for Garcia’s return to the ring. While the fans wondered about Garcia’s next fight, the 24-year-old himself recently disclosed the three fighters he wants to fight next.

Here’s Garcia’s list of next potential fights

The three boxers Ryan Garcia wants to fight next are ‘Rolly’ Romero, Isaac Cruz, and Teofimo Lopez. While Garcia would have loved to lock horns with Romero, the WBA super lightweight title holder has been ordered to face a mandatory challenger in Ohara Davies. An official statement by WBA Championship Committee chairman Carlos Chavez has asked Romero to fight Davies by September 12, 2023. Hence, it is unlikely that Garcia will take on Romero for the time being. However, he intends to fight Cruz if the latter is “willing to go to 140 [lbs]” and Lopez “depending on [the] outcome“.

After Garcia disclosed his list, one user wrote, “I would be satisfied with any of them tbh 🫡”.
