The fight is now on and somehow, some way, Ryan Garcia has landed on his feet again and will challenge for the championship of the world.

Garcia lost on points to Romero earlier this year in not his best fight.

He was coming off a long layoff and a ban from boxing but that’s all clear now.

As we mentioned, we knew he’d be back.

And he is.

He takes on Mario Barrios on February 21st 2026 for the WBC welterweight championship of the world.
