Ryan Garcia He is back in the ring for the first time since January 2021, at Defeat Emmanuel Tejo Saturday in San Antonio. “Kingry” wants to fight again soon, and it’s music in his ears.and Eddie Hearn, who thinks of her perfect competitor: Britain’s Maxi Hughes.

“I have the perfect man … a ‘Cinderella’ story in the UK, and his name is Maxi Hughesbreaks out of a big streak in the division: he beats Juno Carroll, Giovanni Stravon in the IBO . addressjust beat Ryan Walsh,” he said in DAXN Boxing Show.

“We are dying for him to have a big fight. We know he is not one of the Big Four (Lomachenko, Gerfonta, Teofemo Lopez and Haney), but all belts are committed now. We have a great place in Yorkshire, called Doncaster, and we can have 20,000 fans abroad for our first Ryan Garcia fight in the UK. We have everything ready to travel. We hope Maxi Hughes gets the call.”

Hearn analyzed Garcia’s fight against Tejo, which was unexpected due to Ghanaian style. “I’ve seen most of them. It’s great to see (Ryan) come back, he’s so good at boxing. He’s a great guy. When you are faced with an opponent who does not really want to trade, is there to survive, it is very difficult to look good. Tago is limited, but he is very slippery and never wants to fight. It was so frustrating for Ryan, he wanted to put in a good show, but it was also good that he had 12 rounds and so good to hear him say he needed another fight, that He definitely needs to stay active.”

In the lightweight department, Hearn thinks so Sooner or later, Garcia will have to fight with Tiofemo Lopez, Devin Haney or Jerfonta Davis.but since everyone has obligations at the door, California might have a fight in the summer.

“Are the fights he wants, inevitable in the future, But as long as the belts have an owner and the tanks fight on May 28, Not bad to fight in June or July. Some of the problems with these fighters is that they weren’t active enough. stay active. He had a good 12 rounds, got rid of cobwebs. He had big numbers on DAZN, he’s a big star. It’s first class.”
