Despite being the lesser experienced of the duo, Ryan Garcia, relying on his unbeaten streak, can look eye-to-eye with his southpaw opposition. The fight will take place on November 27, three weeks after Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant. Per reports, the fight will be held in Los Angeles. But the exact venue hasn’t been decided.

32-1-1 as a professional, Diaz is undoubtedly one of the best lightweight boxers of the time. He is not a below-average contender who will just stick to pad up Garcia’s records. The American southpaw can offer a tough challenge, especially after seeing Luke Campbell drop Ryan Garcia in early 2021.
Diaz, the former super featherweight champion, has been flawless at 135 lbs. And it can be alarming for Garcia. Meanwhile, ‘KingRy’ is an undefeated boxer with a 21-0 record, in which he has attained 18 KOs. So, Diaz cannot afford to overlook the elite puncher at any given point.

Garcia, an orthodox, will compete against a top-level southpaw next. ‘JoJo’ Diaz can comfortably go the distance, with Garcia being an early KO-artist. These contrasting features will allow both men to relish their chances in an in-ring scrap. However, securing a win will never be an undemanding task.
