Ryan Garcia has revealed when he will next be taking to the ring – and fans won’t have to wait long.

After Garcia’s victory over Luke Campbell, you figured that he was going to go stratospheric in the sport of boxing. He had long been considered one of the biggest prospects, but that proved that he can go toe-to-toe with competitive opposition and come out triumphant.

However, following that victory, he decided to take a very lengthy break from fighting, only returning at the start of last month. For a fighter of his age, it’s unusual to be spending that sort of time out of the ring, but for whatever reason, he and his team felt it was necessary.

No longer, though. Garcia is back and it won’t be long before his loyal band of followers will be seeing him lace up his gloves again. It has now been confirmed that Garcia will be fighting on July 16th. Although, his next opponent is yet to be formally confirmed, despite speculation.

Garcia will be looking to re-build the momentum that he had a few years ago and continue his development into an elite fighter. You feel as though it is merely a matter of time before he finds himself competing for world titles in the highly-contested lightweight division.
