Mercito Gesta, a two-time lightweight title challenger, is in advanced negotiations to face Ryan Garcia in January, sources familiar with the situation told SI.
The deal is subject to approval by DAZN, which has pushed Garcia’s promoter, Golden Boy, to make a high-value fight. If finalized, Garcia-Gesta, which will be contracted for 140 pounds, would take place either Jan. 21 or Jan. 28 in Austin, Texas.
