Oscar De La Hoya Puts A Pause on Ryan Garcia vs Rukiya Anpo

It didn’t stop there as Golden Boy released an official statement reiterating what De la Hoya said on X. “Golden Boy Promotions has exclusive rights to Ryan Garcia’s fights. The organizers of this event (Garcia vs. Anpo) have acknowledged as such and have agreed in writing that our sign-off is needed for this event to occur. As no such sign-off has been given, as of today, there is no event with Ryan Garcia.” – Golden Boy”

This is just hours after Garcia and Anpo stood on a stage in Los Angeles, CA, and formally announced their fight. It was weird that none of the key leadership for Golden Boy was there, especially since Garcia is the top star in the company. These situations tend to get handled before any press conferences are scheduled, but when it comes to Garcia as of late, you expect the unexpected. This could also be Golden Boy’s way of getting more money out of FANMIO who is promoting the event for the services of Garcia.

The likelihood of this getting sorted out is high, but the fact that this spilled over to the public means that things are still shaky regarding Garcia and his promoter, De La Hoya. FightsATW will continue to monitor this story and will update if anything new comes out of it.
