Ryan Garcia isn’t letting his boxing suspension stop him from getting in the ring … the star boxer tells this publication Sports he’s fighting in December!

The 24-1 boxer broke the news to us earlier this week … months after the New York State Athletic Commission suspended him after testing positive for a banned substance in April, saying he’ll soon be fighting again.

“You’re gonna see me fight in December,” Garcia told us. “It’s gonna be a big fight. Stay tuned!”

Remember, Garcia surprised many boxing fans by handily beating Devin Haney in their April 20 fight … but the victory was overturned after his drug test came back positive for Ostarine.

The 26-year-old — who has been steadfast in saying he didn’t cheat, and instead ingested a tainted supplement — accepted the one-year suspension and forfeited his purse.

So, Garcia isn’t permitted to box in New York (and likely across the country) until April 2025 … but according to him Ry, he’s fightin’.

How? Good question. Garcia could likely travel overseas for a fight … or take part in an event that isn’t regulated by a state boxing commission.

It’s unclear if Garcia would box, or even take an MMA fight … which he’s previously teased.

Stay tuned!
