As rising lightweight star Ryan Garcia gets back into the groove of things following his short stint away from the sport, his handlers are naturally in talks to plans his awaited return. Garcia is formally back in training and ESPN’s Mike Coppinger cites sources who indicate there’s potential for Garcia (21-0, 18 KOs) to take on Joseph Diaz Jr. (32-1-1, 15 KOs), who’s also been rolling lately. Early indications are the bout could come together for this fall in Los Angeles and Diaz is already talking up his expectations for the bout.

After pocketing the biggest win of his career, Gervonta Davis appears to be on track to making a return later on this year. According to Lance Pugmire of The Athletic, one opponent, that is at the very least being explored, is former 130-pound belt holder, Joseph Diaz.
The California native rolled the dice on himself recently and cashed in. Following the loss of his IBF super featherweight world title on the scales against Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov, Diaz (32-1-1, 15 KOs) was forced to settle for a majority decision draw. Seemingly unable to make 130 pounds anymore, Diaz accepted a risky short notice fight against multiple division belt holder, Javier Fortuna at 135.
