Ryan Garcia returns to the ring for the first time since suffering a knockout loss to Gervonta Davis when he faces Oscar Duarte on December 2 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Garcia’s last fight was a blockbuster event that sold over 1.2 million pay-per-view buys, making it the biggest PPV of 2023 and cracking the top 10 highest-grossing PPV boxing events of all time. Unfortunately, Garcia was stopped in the seventh round by “Tank” and found himself in the loss column for the first time in his professional career.
Now comfortable at 140 pounds, and with a new trainer in Derrick James, Garcia will look to bounce back and return to form against Duarte. Garcia (23-1, 19 KOs) remains one of the biggest stars in the sport but will have to avoid falling short a second time against an opponent who is looking to pull off a massive upset.
Duarte (26-1-1, 21 KOs) has won his last 11 fights by stoppage since losing a split decision to Adrian Estrella in 2019. It’s a huge step up in competition for him, but he’s more than up for the task of taking down the social media superstar and knockout artist.
Stay tuned as The Sporting News will provide live updates of Garcia’s return to action.

8:27 p.m. ET: As expected, Darius Fulghum took care of business and finished Pachino Hill with a 2nd round TKO. That’s Fulghum’s ninth career win and all of them have come inside the distance. Bernard Hopkins has spoken highly of Fulghum and there’s a lot of potential for the young fighter.
