What does Ryan Garcia’s father think about the fight?
Henry Garcia, Ryan Garcia’s father, recently took part in an interview with Fight Hub TV where he discussed a variety of topics related to the fight in Las Vegas. Henry made a bold assumption about who would prevail in the battle.
“I have a strong prediction that Ryan’s going to knock him out. I donât have a prediction exactly, but I would say the eighth round sounds good to me. Ryan is going to stop Tank in the eighth round. ” said Henry.

The Californian boxing promoter also gave specifics on why he believed his son had a greater chance of overcoming Tank. KingRy’s main inspiration to become a professional fighter is Henry, who has been serving as Ryan’s trainer as well.
âHeâs got a tremendous amount of power and his pedigree. A lot of people think of him as a social media star, but he started at age seven. Gervonta will need a catcher’s mask against Ryan Garcia.” Henry added.
Former WBC interim lightweight champion Ryan (23-0, 19 KOs) is still undefeated in his professional career. The boxer, who was born in Victorville, California, defeated both Emmanuel Tagoe (32-1-1) and Javier Fortuna (37-3-1) in 2022. Even though there has been a problem with the rehydration clause, Ryan won’t be impacted in any way, claims Garcia Senior.
“Iâve never seen my son gain more than ten pounds, give or take. Itâs never been an issue for him. I want him to gain at least nine pounds or ten pounds. Weâre all monitoring everything. Itâs not going to be a factor for him. In fact, itâs going to be good for him. ” Henry continued.
