Following his first professional defeat against Gervonta Davis, there have been rumors regarding Ryan Garcia not continuing his journey with the ‘Golden Boy Promotions’. After Davis beat Garcia on the 22nd of April, Oscar De La Hoya remained absent at the post-fight conference, leading others to question his professionalism and support for ‘KingRy’. Along these lines, the rumors of Garcia splitting with De La Hoya hit the sport.

Recently, IFL TV interviewed the chairperson of Matchroom Sport, Eddie Hearn. Although it is not clear whether or not Garcia has renewed his contract with the ‘Golden Boy Promotions’, Hearn was asked if he was interested in promoting Garcia had the latter been a “promotional free agent“. Speaking of which, Hearn admitted his interest in talking to Garcia.

Although they have not had “any conversations around this,” Hearn, who publicly laughed at the rumored fight purse of Fury vs. Usyk in Saudi Arabia, declared he would “love to talk to” Garcia if the boxer is a free agent. “Of course. I don’t know [if he’s] promotional. People are telling me Ryan Garcia’s a free agent. If he is, I’d love to talk to him,” said Hearn.
