Former interim WBC lightweight champion, Ryan Garcia, will make his return to the ring against former IBO lightweight champion Emmanuel Tagoe on April 9 from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Garcia's promoter and founder of Golden Boy Promotions, Oscar De La Hoya, revealed the news via a tweet. The 23-year old Victorville, California native hasn't fought since January 2021 after dealing with some mental health issues and undergoing surgery on his right wrist back in November. Garcia is 21-0 as a pro and is coming off of a seventh-round TKO victory over 2012 Olympic gold medalist, Luke Campbell, in his last appearance. Tagoe meanwhile is 32-1 respectively himself as a pro and in his most recent bout defeated Mason Menard via a majority decision back in November 2020.
