“A dream come true,” wrote Garcia (21-0, 18 Ko’s), who just won the intermediate title by knocking out Luke Campbell on January 2. “It is an honor to share the ring with Manny Pacquiao. I’ve always respected what you did in and out of the ring. May the best man win, ”the 22-year-old added.
Pacquiao, 42, is the World Boxing Association’s reigning welterweight champion and has not entered the ring since July 2019. Many expected the result of the martial art Conor McGregor to see if he could fight the ‘Pacman’ in a multi-million dollar battle in 2021; The loss to Dustin Poirier may have changed plans.

Pacquiao sent statements of support for Conor McGregor ahead of UFC 257’s main event, and once the Irishman lost, he congratulated Dustin Poirier on his win. McGregor had told it ESPN that if he won, Poirier would love to go boxing in search of a champion fight, and all the spotlight was on Manny.
Ryan García is putting the fight on the table for now and they hope that everything will move forward in the talksAlthough for now there is the intention on both sides and the Philippines, despite being 20 years older, should of course be the favorite to take the victory in this fight.

Garcia should move from lightweight to welterweight, as the Philippines did more than 12 years ago.
