After much speculation, the WBC has finally ordered the WBC interim champ, Joseph Diaz, to face the upcoming icon, Ryan Garcia. The latter was in contention to make a comeback, but he was in search of a rugged opponent, and also a fight that would help him land a title shot.

Garcia took only fight in 2021 and that was against Luke Campbell for the WBC lightweight interim title. He put on a sensational performance in that bout, but went out of the sport.
As a result, because of inactivity, he got stripped. Hence, now, the only way he can reclaim his throne is by beating ‘Jo Jo’.
‘King Ry’ is a prime fighting prodigy, and he has certainly tested himself in deep waters against Campbell. The latter dropped Garcia with a ferocious left hook in round 2 of the fight. After that blow, many fans thought the young gun wouldn’t be able to come back in the contest.
However, the 23-year-old, who enjoys defying the odds, did just that in this fight. Showing a stern mindset, Garcia continued the fight, and finally, in round 7, he edged over his fellow adversary with a slick body shot.
Now, ‘King Ry’ will look to employ his best skills to get over the line against Diaz.
