Despite experiencing a loss against Gervonta “Tank” Davis in a highly publicized fight, Ryan Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, believes that Garcia is destined to become a boxing superstar. De La Hoya, a dominant figure in the sport himself, has high hopes for Garcia’s future.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, De La Hoya expressed his confidence in Garcia’s abilities. He commended Garcia for accepting a tough challenge in his upcoming fight against Oscar Duarte on December 2, which will be streamed on DAZN. This will be Garcia’s first fight since his defeat against Tank in April.
Duarte, who boasts an impressive record of 11 straight knockout wins, poses a formidable challenge for Garcia. But De La Hoya believes that this fight will be a testament to Garcia’s character and determination. A victory over Duarte will signal that Garcia is back on track and ready to compete for a world title, potentially against Teofimo Lopez from Brooklyn.
While De La Hoya acknowledges that the future is ultimately in Garcia’s hands, he remains optimistic about Garcia’s potential. He envisions Garcia headlining events at the Sphere in Las Vegas and becoming a true superstar in the sport.
For now, Garcia’s focus is on proving himself as an elite boxer. He is prepared for the challenges that Duarte will bring to the ring and aims to showcase his skills to the world. Garcia understands the aggression and power that Duarte possesses and recognizes that his opponents will always bring their best when facing him.
Garcia acknowledges that fighters like Duarte are hungry for success and are eager to make a statement against him. They want to take what he has achieved. However, Garcia is prepared to defend his position and continue his rise in the boxing world.
As Garcia continues his boxing journey, the support and belief of his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, will undoubtedly play a significant role in his development and success. With De La Hoya’s guidance and Garcia’s determination, there is no doubt that he has the potential to become a true superstar in the sport of boxing.
