It seems that 2021 is not really an ideal year for the lightweight prodigy, Ryan Garcia. After stepping into the ring on January 2, fans expected him to fight at least two more times in 2021. Unfortunately, mental health concerns scuppered his July return date.
After overcoming that, Garcia was all set to come back. He was all set to battle the WBC interim lightweight champ, Joseph Diaz. However, now, he has pulled out of the fight because of injury. ‘King Ry’ hasn’t revealed a return date.
