Since July Golden Boy Promotions wants to start organizing boxing evenings in the United States again. Oscar De La Hoya said that on July 4 he would like to have an interesting and promising fight of Ryan Garcia (20-0, 17 KOs) against former world champion in three weight categories Jorge Linares (47-5. 29 KOs).

“We have to go back and show that, despite the difficult times, boxing is still alive and doing well. I hope we get permission to stage boxing events from July,” the head of Golden Boy Promotions said.

“We are discussing this issue with several states: California, New York, Texas, Arizona and Nevada. Negotiations are ongoing with the commissions on how to conduct sporting events so that it is safe for all participants,” De La Hoya added.
