Ryan Garcia (21-0, 18 KO) versus Isaac Cruz (22-2-1, 15 KO) - This fight may take place in April. In the meantime, returning after a long break, "King Paradise" exchanges verbal attacks with Cruz.
“I wanted to fight George Kambosos right away, but this fight will not happen now. The audience wants me to fight someone else, but I understand. Today, Isaac Cruz is talked about because he gave a good fight to Jervonte Davis. I think Cruz is a good opponent for me to come back, ”said Garcia.
“Cruz is a tough opponent, it's a good challenge, but I know I can use my advantages. His style is perfect for me, I've seen boxers like this a million times. As for my fight with Davis, it will be one of the greatest fights in boxing history. And I will have a great opportunity to prove that I am on a different level than Davis, ”added 23-year-old Garcia.
"Ryan Garcia is not a lightweight fighter, he is more focused on creating videos and attracting followers on Instagram. But if Ryan wants to fight me, let him do it," 23-year-old Cruz commented on Garcia's statements.
Gervonta Davis defeated Cruz on December 5 via unanimous decision after a tough fight. Ryan Garcia, on the other hand, beat former Olympic champion Luke Campbell ahead of schedule in January this year. Ryan announced in April that he was taking a break from boxing due to mental health issues. He was scheduled to return to fight Joseph Diaz in November, but suffered a right wrist injury while training. Garcia is set to return next year and then face off against the reigning WBA lightweight champion Jervonte Davis.
