Ryan Garcia expected to fight Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz

Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) is in talks to fight Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz (26-3-1, 18 KOs).

Garcia in a post on social media “X” said that his next opponent will be Cruz. Cruz first will fight Angel Fierro (23-2-2) in Las Vegas on February 1.

“I’m bringing a[n] explosive fight in my … comeback. Pit bull has always been considered a tough opponent,” Garcia posted, adding a swipe at his rival and planned October opponent, former two-division champion Devin Haney by writing, “tougher matchup than Haney, [to be honest].”

A source close to Cruz told BoxingScene on Friday afternoon that there are in-progress “talks” before finalizing Garcia-Cruz

The fight is expected for May in outdoor show in “Times Square”, New York.
