Who could Ryan Garcia face next?

These comments from Garcia showed his reality of struggling with anxiety and depression. Moreover, it confirmed that the young superstar is still dealing with those issues. However, he reassured fans he would fight it. So who could he face on his return?

The lightweight division is one of the most exciting in the sport. However, all the big names already have opponents. Therefore, Garcia will have to settle for a low-profile opponent if he wants to return soon.

A fight against his original opponent Javier Fortuna could be on the cards. Fortuna confirmed he would welcome a bout against Garcia in the future, whereas for ‘King Ry,’ it would allow him to build up towards the big fights later in the year.
