Ryan Garcia, over the past few weeks, has made steady sensations for his 2022 comeback. The young gun was lined up for a couple of fights after his win over Luke Campbell. But due to some mental health concerns and an injury, Garcia didn’t take up these fights. However, he’s eager to get back inside the ring and is keenly looking for a stout opponent.
Recently, ‘King Ry’ took to Twitter to go after one of his rivals, and call him out for a fight. The internet star expressed his interest in fighting Isaac Cruz next year.
“#garciacruz 2022?” he wrote on Twitter.

Cruz, a few days back, spoke to Boxeo Mundial about rival Ryan Garcia. He said, “He is free to express himself however he wants, I have nothing to say about him outside of ring. All he has to do is call my promoter and tell me where to sign, and I’d go to the patio of his house to fight him without a problem,” (h/t Boxing Scene)
Isaac Cruz recently ended up on the losing space against Gervonta Davis.
‘Tank’ is one of the top rivals of Ryan Garcia, who holds the WBA ‘regular’ lightweight belt. That said, ‘King Ry’ is desperate to face all of his nemesis, especially Davis. However, since Garcia’s remained inactive for a while, he will have to lock horns with other challengers in the division, in order to reach the top.
That said, with his above tweet, it seems the 23-year-old finally has a potential opponent in hand, i.e. Isaac Cruz.
