WBC interim lightweight champion Ryan Garcia has seemingly confirmed the rumors that he will face welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, after posting a picture on social media that features the two boxers facing off in the ring.
"A dream turned reality," Garcia wrote in a post on Instagram. "It's an honor to share the ring with @mannypacquiao. I will always respect what you did in and out the ring. Here's to the best man winning."
The Athletic's Mike Coppinger initially reported early Sunday morning that there were preliminary talks between Garcia and Pacquiao about a possible fight.
