Ryan Garcia got handed his first-ever defeat against Gervonta Davis last month. Post the bout, Garcia humbly accepted his defeat and expressed his desire to move up to the super-lightweight division and compete at 140 lbs. Meanwhile, the super-light division is evolving which opens up multiple potential bouts for the young boxer. This past Saturday, a crucial fight took place for the division; Rolly Romero fought and defeated Ismael Barroso to claim the WBA title.

Romero is a potential opponent for Garcia if he moves up. Both fighters are young and have been training partners in the past. Post Romero’s win, Garcia shared a post on Instagram and hinted at a major announcement.

Garcia has a massive social media following and makes sure to give updates to his 10.4 million fans.

Will the two competitors square off in the ring this year? Only time can tell. Although, the news that Garcia is hinting at will be revealed in a week. Both fighters in the past, moreover, have actually talked about fighting each other.
