The 25-year-old American boxer was recently involved in an Ostarine scandal, which led to his suspension from boxing. Despite his controversial behavior in recent weeks, Garcia has managed to grab headlines once again. Adding an extra layer of intrigue, De La Hoya’s recent tweet suggests a potential matchup against the 26-year-old Ortiz Jr.

Golden Boy Promotions might be considered an in-house fight since both boxers belong to the same promotional company. Garcia has been eager to get himself back into the ring. His potential rematch with Devin Haney might be a suitable comeback fight for him. However, Haney doesn’t agree with that. Meanwhile, Ortiz Jr. shared his thoughts on the possibility of his fight against Garcia.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. gets honest about fighting Ryan Garcia

In the world of boxing, recent controversy has been sparked by Vergil Ortiz’s comments about Ryan Garcia’s amateur fights. Ortiz has hinted at the potential for a showdown with Garcia, fueling excitement and speculation within the boxing community. Vergil Ortiz Jr. has gained widespread recognition for his impressive track record of 16 victories, all by knockout.

Garcia has a formidable presence in the boxing sphere and has made a name for himself in the lightweight category. He has even extended multiple challenges to Ortiz. Nevertheless, Ortiz has only agreed to Garcia’s challenge at this point. Moreover, he has also voiced his thoughts about his and Ryan Garcia’s amateur boxing matches.

It can happen. Obviously not anytime soon because he’s f***ing banned... We fought twice or thrice in amateur.... He’s the one bringing up the past... If he wants to run it, le’ts run it. I don’t care.

Garcia has had an impressive journey in amateur boxing. However, transitioning to the professional circuit brings new and tougher challenges. Ortiz’s critique of Ryan’s reliance on his amateur skills could be the perfect chance for the young boxer to showcase his abilities on a grander and more demanding stage.
