Ryan Garcia and Issac Cruz are currently feuding all over social media and can end up locking horns somewhere down the line. Following a long hiatus since his win over Luke Campbell, Garcia wants to test himself against ‘Pitbull’ in his comeback fight. That said, Cruz recently delivered a strong performance against Gervonta Davis and took ‘Tank’ to the distance.

Per Henry, his son’s right-hand injury is still not fully recovered. But they expect it to be fine shortly and are confident about beating Issac Cruz if offered a chance.
