Ryan Garcia’s Next Fight: April 9 Return Confirmed
Follow Us
Ryan Garcia is one of those boxers who’s in the line for an extraordinary boxing return. The young gun had a lackluster run in 2021 and now he’s even more intrigued to come back and put on a brilliant performance. Garcia had the WBC interim lightweight strap, but because of inactivity, he got stripped of the same.
Now, ‘King Ry’ has his eyes on the ultimate title and for that, he’s ready to batter any opponent thrown in front of him.
That said, Garcia recently took it to Instagram to announce his boxing return date. With that, he also shared snippets of his heavy training routines.

The only fight Garcia took in 2021 was against Luke Campbell. This was the 23-year-old’s first big test in the 135-pound landscape. Campbell had the experience, but Garcia was a favorite to win. The Briton stunned the world by dropping the Californian in just the second round.
Garcia left his chin wide open, and he paid the price. Hence, in the later rounds, he collected himself and rectified this mistake. Finally, in round 7, ‘King Ry’ caught Campbell with a mammoth body blow to win the fight.
Since then, Garcia was in the line to fight twice. But citing mental health concerns, he pulled out of a fight. Later, he injured his hand and couldn’t appear under the big lights again.

For a couple of months now, Ryan Garcia traded enough verbal blows with Isaac Cruz. Also, it looked as if a fight between these two will materialize for sure.
But, a few days back, ‘King Ry’ asserted upon Cruz not wanting to fight him. He even spoke about offering Cruz more money than what Gervonta Davis and his team did.
