The whole boxing world watched with bated breath as Ryan Garcia faced the first defeat of his career at the hands of Gervonta Davis on April 22. As expected, this loss had a huge impact on Garcia, moreover, it even led to him parting ways with his trainer, Joe Goosen. A lot of fans supported Garcia’s decision as some fans were displeased with Goosen for not being next to Garcia during the post-fight conference. There were even some who attributed Garcia’s failure to Goosen’s shortcomings.
Moreover, the change also raised a question in many people’s minds about the future trajectory of Garcia’s career. This was especially so when the rumors about him potentially collaborating with Canelo Alvarez’s team started circulating. However, it seems that the rumors were unfounded as Garcia has recently announced his new partnership.
Garcia made the huge announcement on Instagram. He revealed that his new coach will be Derrick James, who is also a trainer to unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. He thanked them for allowing him to join their ranks, and he shared a series of pictures along with his new trainer and Errol Spence Jr.
