July 4 is due to be the first night of boxing from Golden Boy Promotions after the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic. The event will be organized without the participation of the audience and will be broadcast on the DAZN platform.

Ryan Garcia (20-0, 17 KOs) will perform in the main event of the evening. It was planned that his opponent would be the former world champion in three weight categories Jorge Linares (47-5, 29 KOs), but the Venezuelan is in his homeland and will not be able to get a visa to enter the United States.

It is still unknown who will become Garcia's opponent. The 21-year-old fighter, who owns WBC silver lightweight belt, knocked Romero Duno and Francisco Fonseca in the first rounds in his last two appearances.
