Ryan Garcia Intends to Fight Inoue in Japan

American boxer Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs), competing in the super lightweight division (up to 63.5 kg), has responded to absolute champion Naoya Inoue (26-0, 23 KOs) of the super bantamweight division (up to 55.2 kg) about not coming to the USA.

"Respectfully, I would come to Japan to kick your little butt," wrote Ryan.

Previously, Inoue had responded to suggestions to prove his level by coming to the US, explaining why, in his opinion, Japan is the new home for the lighter weight classes. Garcia is set to fight on April 20th in New York for the WBC super lightweight title against Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs).
