WBC interim lightweight champion Ryan Garcia may only be 22, but “The Flash” already has plans to retire from boxing in four years, and then possibly transition to MMA.
Garcia (21-0, 18 KOs) recently stopped Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell to win the vacant WBC interim lightweight title. With the win, Garcia became the mandatory challenger to face champion Devin Haney (25-0, 15 KOs).
It seems that Garcia, who is signed to Golden Boy Promotions, doesn’t plan to follow the footsteps of his mentor Oscar De La Hoya as he revealed on the Rich Eisen show.
