After overcoming physical injuries and psychological problems that kept him away from boxing, it seemed that Ryan Garcia was ready to step into the ring soon. However, destiny may have other plans for him, and his absence will last longer, just like his promoter, legendary Oscar de la Hoya has stated.

Apparently, King Ry (21-0-0, 18 KO’s) already had a good rival to come back to the ring: Isaac Cruz . ThePitbull emerged in high-level boxing after losing a close fight against GervontaTankDavis in December. This pointed out him as one more of the competitive boxers that the Lightweight division has.

Cruz holds an interesting 22-2-1 (15 KO’s) record and his boxing style is attractive: he personifies the classic Mexican style of going forward, pressing the opponent, and always being ready to receive damage as the key to open the door to punishing his rivals.
