Ryan Garcia is one of the fastest rising stars in boxing ... with a 17-0 record and a huge contract with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.
But, what he REALLY wants ... is a date with Selena Gomez!!
"She's single so lemme shoot my shot," the 20-year-old told us ... "Lemme take you out!"
Garcia even gave a pitch to Gomez ... saying, "I would protect you, you know!?"
He's right ... dude's got a lethal left hook and has been obliterating opponents since he turned pro at 17 years old back in 2016.
