In the early part of this year, Ryan Garcia was on the rise. Destined for greatness he appeared unstoppable as he defeated opponent after opponent. Winning each fight while displaying extraordinary boxing prowess. However, it was when the young talent clashed with the prodigy from Baltimore, that things went awry. Prior to the fight, a lot of people showed concern about him leaving himself wide open while throwing punches. They claimed that against Gervonta Davis, this would not go unpunished.
And indeed, ‘Tank’ didn’t let the chance go, he dropped ‘KingRY’ twice and the second knockdown in the 7th round marked the end of the match-up. The fight was huge and even ended up generating around $22.8 million gate. Following the fight, the changes were drastic as Garcia fell out with his trainer and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya for abandoning him during the post-fight conference. Moreover, he joined Errol Spence Jr.‘s coach Derrick James soon and even ended up suing Golden Boy Promotions for breach of contract.
Amid all the drama, he even joined a poker tournament, and there were even talks of him potentially facing super lightweight champion Regis Prograis. However, as it turns out Progias is going to face Devin Haney for a title bout as ‘the Dream’ moves up in weight. Now it seems that Garcia is prepared to make a return and stake his claim on the throne once again. He recently took to X to state, “Fighting at the end of this year”. He shared his resolve to make a comeback and return to the ring for the second time this year.
