Following a long layoff, the rising prospect, Ryan Garcia, is going to collide against Ghanaian pugilist Emmanuel Tagoe on April 9 in a positive start to the year 2022.

Ahead of his clash, Tagoe’s boxing manager, Peter Kahn, talked to Sports Illustrated, and the senior writer Chris Mannix, took to Twitter to report it and gave an update on the 23-year-old’s upcoming rumble.

Chris Mannix Twitted, “The contract weight for Ryan Garcia-Emmanuel Tagoe will be for a max of 139-pounds, Tagoe’s manager, Peter Kahn, told @SInow. Kahn, who manages lighweight champion @GeorgeKambosos, believes there are strong similarities between this fight and Kambosos’s upset of Teofimo Lopez.”

Two highlights of this story caught the attention of boxing fans. First, ‘KingRy’s weight, and second, its comparison with the epic lightweight title clash between Teofimo Lopez and George Kambosos Jr.

One fan named Rahul Vaithinathan wrote, “Unprofessional,” slamming Ryan Garcia for fighting Emmanuel Tagoe at 139-pounds.

Another fan targeted the pretty intense upcoming battle. Since it is not a title fight, he labeled it as a normal trading of leather.
