He wrote, “@ isaacpitbullcruz98, congratulations on your fight with Tank Davis. @Goldenboy and @Kingryan we are ready to make you a great offer. Tell him to tell us your promoter,” (All quotes translated from Spanish to English via Google Translate)

Regardless of that, the focus of everyone was on the building up of Garcia and Cruz’s bout. ‘King Ry’ fought in January last year and since then, he’s eagerly looking for a noteworthy opponent, who could advance his chances for a title fight.
