Ryan Garcia is under enormous pressure to deliver a knockout performance tonight against Javier Fortuna.
The 23-year-old has long been considered a future world champion and a potential superstar but needs to win and win well in his second fight of 2022.
Garcia returned to the ring three months ago, after over a year out, coasting to a points victory over Emmanuel Tagoe signalling a winning start to life with his new trainer Joe Goossen.
Since then, the unbeaten Californian has called out rival Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis on several occasions and been involved in a feud with Canelo Alvarez.
Lightweight Garcia weighed in at the contracted 140lbs (Super-Lightweight) for the fight against former Super-Featherweight champion Fortuna who hit the scales at 139.8lbs.
