On July 16, Ryan Garcia and Javier Fortuna finally face off, taking the ring inside Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Garcia made his pro debut in 2016. In November 2019 and February 2020, respectively, Garcia beat Romero Duno and Francisco Fonseca after two brutal knockouts to win and hold onto the WBC silver lightweight title. He passed his first major test in January 2021, beating Luke Campbell via TKO to win the interim WBC lightweight title.
Garcia took a bit of a break from boxing shortly after. In April 2021, he was supposed to fight Fortuna but ended up working on his mental health. Set to return this past November, Garcia would undergo hand surgery. The bout he missed was an interim title fight against Joseph Diaz. He returned in April, beating Emmanuel Tagoe via unanimous decision.
After an amateur career of more than 190 wins, Fortuna turned pro in 2009. A WBC-NABF Junior super-featherweight champion, Fortuna won the WBA (Regular) super-featherweight title in 2015 against Brian Vasquez.
Fortuna was involved in a scary scene in 2018 when he fell out of the ring against Adrian Granados. That fight ended up turning into a no-contest. Since then, he’s 4-1. In July 2021, Fortuna lost to Joseph Diaz for the interim WBC lightweight title. He recovered in February, beating Rafael Hernandez via knockout.
