“King” Ryan Garcia has injured his wrist in training camp, temporarily postponing his much anticipated exhibition showdown against Japanese kickboxing champion Rukiya Anpo that was set to take place on Monday, December 30 in Tokyo, Japan in an event presented by RIZIN and FANMIO. The event will be rescheduled for a date in early 2025.
“I’ve been eagerly preparing for my upcoming exhibition fight in Japan, training hard in Dallas over the past several weeks,” said the disappointed Garcia. “Unfortunately, I sustained a hand injury during training and returned to Los Angeles to be seen by the doctor, who has advised me to postpone my December 30 exhibition.”
Garcia says he does not expect the injury to prevent his eventual showdown with Anpo, who has traded increasingly nasty public barbs with Garcia throughout the past month.
“This is only a temporary setback, and I sincerely apologize to my fans, FANMIO, RIZIN and Anpo for the delay,” added Garcia. “No one is more disappointed than I am. Thank you for being so supportive.”
Anpo stated, “I have been told that Ryan is out due to an injury. I am disappointed to say the least, but knocking out an injured opponent won’t mean anything, so I wish him a speedy recovery and hope I can face the 100% version of Ryan Garcia. Get well soon and I’ll let you kiss my fist any time!”
Stay tuned for an announcement on the rescheduled date.
I’m not interested in these exhibitions. The only exhibition I would’ve ever wanted to see, was when George Foreman fought 5 guys in one night!
Ryan has a complete disregard for the rules. He is suspended and should not fight. You did the crime; Do the time
He is not prohibited from boxing in a exhibition.
A Drama queen injury must be “ extremely serious” .
I thought Oscar called off that event.
If anything, Oscar was probably trying to promote the event with fake controversy between him and Ryan. Supposedly he’d sue Ryan. Then he could play off of the everyone is against Ryan narrative to sell the fight.
“…….temporarily postponing his much-anticipated exhibition showdown against Japanese kickboxing champion Rukiya Anpo…”
– Don’t know one person who is/was anticipating this “showdown”……….
The Japanese kid can make a name for himself. He’ll get his 15 minutes of fame
(in Japan).
“Much anticipated”….by whom.
Please stop writing stories about this cheater and you tuber. He is not worth the words written about him. Thank you.
Hi Ryan, why don’t you just take some PED’s? I’m sure that will fix the problem right up. Or maybe there is no injury and you pulled out because Boss Man Oscar said “No exhibition unless it is authorized by Golden Boy.” And quit calling this guy “kingry”!!! If ever a nickname didn’t fit…..
So he’s not gonna fight that Japanese schoolboy now, very interesting….
This is a major disappointment for the entire community of 13 year girl boxing fans.
Sprained from intense wanking
All good. Keep rockin it Ryan.
Queen Ryan and the ryu street fighta kid need to back to the Japan school headmaster aka Oscar and ask permission to play with each other at school in Japan just remember queen Ryan the world is full of tough guys and ryu has your blood on his fist
First Inoue vs Goodman, Dec 24 fight cancelled. Now this December 30 fight cancelled too.
MM…interesting that when black fighters (Jon Jones, Shane Mosley, Mike Tyson, etc) were in the juice all their lives these big mouths don’t say a single word. This chicano got traces of a PED after DESTROYING a black douche and now all blacks crying foul. American blacks.. LOL. Negros cagados hate the truth….ALWAYS
