Garcia returns for his second fight of 2022 after defeating Emmanuel Tagoe in April by a wide unanimous decision. Fortuna had back with a first-round knockout over Rafael Hernandez in February 2022.
Garcia is one of the most popular boxers who won an interim title bout last year against Luke Campbell. But he was unable to capitalize on the triumph. Fortuna is a veteran southpaw. He likes to throw punches. Last July he lost an interim title bout against Jo Jo Diaz.
The fighters were supposed to fight in July 2021, but the former pulled out due to Garcia’s mental health. He had been in talks to make a fight with Isaac Cruz. But they didn’t go anywhere and Garcia went back to Fortuna. A win against Fortuna puts him in a position to reignite talks to make a bout with fellow lightweight star Gervonta Davis.
On Saturday at Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles, the fight between Ryan Garcia and Javier Fortuna is going to happen. This is the biggest challenging fight ever in the Super Lightweight fight. The fight can be seen worldwide, live and exclusively on DAZN.
