WHO WILL GARCIA FIGHT FOR A TUNE-UP?

Garcia should choose a quality opponent that can best prepare him for Tank. Keep in mind that Garcia has faced southpaws in the past. The two that come to mind are former WBA junior lightweight champion Javier Fortuna and one-time title challenger Luke Campbell.

King Ry could keep the trend going by fighting southpaw fighters like former WBA 130-pound champion Jezzrel Corrales or Dominican Edwin De Los Santos. Boxing fans chimed in on social media, calling for Rolando “Rollie” Romero or former unified champion George Kambosos Jr.

Garcia has plenty of options to choose from. The boxing community is on standby, waiting to see who will get the call.
