Oscar De La Hoya has suggested that Ryan Garcia’s recent wrist surgery did not mark the end of his injury issues, while advising his fighter to take another year off.
Garcia returned from a one-year ban in May, having failed a drug test on the week of his win over Devin Haney in April 2024. That victory was overturned to a No Contest, and Garcia’s comeback fell flat as he was dropped and outpointed by Rolly Romero.
