Ryan Announces Fight Against Pacquiao

Disqualified American boxer Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) has announced that he plans to have an exhibition fight against eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) at the end of the year.

– I'm going to fight Pacquiao. It will be an exhibition fight.

– Wait, is this an announcement?

– Yes, a fight against Pacquiao, guys. Let's do it.

– When?

– We're still working on it. Definitely by the end of the year. I'm trying to stay focused, quit drinking and using substances.

It's worth noting that after his victory over Devin Haney in April, Ryan tested positive for banned substances. As a result, the fight was declared a no-contest, and Garcia received a one-year suspension.

On July 28 in Japan, a 3-round exhibition boxing match took place between 45-year-old Manny Pacquiao and Rukiya Anpo. The only way to win was by knockout, but the fight went the distance and ended in a draw.
