In 2022, some of boxing’s modern era legends and prime prodigies will enter the squared circle for putting on a show. Talking about prodigies, one name that everyone is keen to see is Ryan Garcia.

The internet sensation had a lackluster run as his last fight came in January 2021. Now, his next fight is lined up for April 9 against Emmanuel Tagoe. This fight will take place in Alamodome, San Antonio.

In all, there’s around a month left for Garcia’s return and he’s slowly getting into his previous boxing element, showing umpteen prowess. Recently, he dropped a training video on his social handle, wherein Garcia can be seen throwing super-fast punches on the mitts.
