American boxing sensation Ryan Garcia has officially announced his next major fight through a social media video that captured the contract signing moment.
Social Media Announcement
In a video posted on his social media accounts, Garcia documented the entire contract signing process for his upcoming bout. The boxer appeared tired but committed to sharing the news with his fans. "Like I said, guys, I'm pretty tired right now. It's a long day but I promised you guys I would have this video for you," Garcia stated in the footage that was later published on www.boxingscene.com.
Return After Suspension
This fight marks an important comeback for Garcia, who faced disciplinary action from the World Boxing Council in 2024. The WBC had suspended Garcia due to racism issues, but the organization has recently lifted the ban, clearing the path for his return to professional boxing.
February 2026 Showdown
The highly anticipated match will feature Garcia facing his compatriot, current WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios. The two fighters are scheduled to meet in the ring on February 21, 2026, in what promises to be a significant event in the welterweight division.
This announcement has generated substantial excitement among boxing enthusiasts, particularly given Garcia's recent absence from the sport and Barrios's current championship status.
