Ryan Garcia vs. Javier Fortuna: Stats, Age, Height, Weight, Record

Ryan Garcia is gearing up to square off with his rival opponent Javier Fortuna this weekend at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The 23-year-old was most likely to meet Fortuna last year, but due to mental health reasons, he pulled out of the fight. Which cost him his WBC interim lightweight title.

But as of now, ‘The Flash’ is ready with more confidence and training to settle the old business and keep his unbeaten record on the track. He is coming out of an amazing victory against the Ghanaian pugilist Emmanuel Tagoe earlier this year.

Since the exchange between the two has developed a rage against each other, so certainly it is going to be a spectacular event. Here’s a detailed analysis of stats of both fighters, including age, height, and record.

 Ryan Garcia vs Javier Fortuna: comparison

Age

This is going to be a great contest from Garcia’s point of view. As he would face a former two-time world champion, Fortuna, who would certainly test the skills of a rising star. Prior to this, Garcia has never faced a fighter of Fortuna’s aura.

There is a big age gap between the duo. Garcia is a new kid in the sport with only a few years of boxing, whereas Fortuna has been professional for over a decade. As of now, Garcia is 23 years old and Fortuna is 32.

Height

Coming into this 12-round championship bout, the Dominican boxer has a major height disadvantage against ‘The Flash’. While the former time world champ is 5 feet 6 1/2 inches tall, whereas Garcia is 5 feet 10 inches.

This would certainly push Garcia to deliver good hooks if Fortuna fails to defend.

Weight

Both fighters will compete at the 135-pound.

Reach

Fortuna is also at a reach disadvantage against Garcia, who is much taller as well.

Garcia has a 178 cm reach, whereas his opponent has a 174 reach. The 4 cm reach advantage can work in favor of Garcia if he uses it well.

Record

When it comes to record, Fortuna certainly is a bigger deal for Garcia. He held the WBA (Regular) super featherweight title from 2015 to 16. Other than this, he challenged for several other titles. In his entire career, he fought 43 battles and won 37 of them.

On the other hand, Garcia has never got an opportunity for a title shot, but his progress shows that he will get one soon.
