By Dan Rafael - Boxing promoters are busy making plans for bringing fights back this summer with most realizing that, at least initially, they will have to take place without spectators -- or the revenue that goes with having a live gate -- due to the coronavirus pandemic. Golden Boy Promotions is one of those companies and hopeful to put on its first show...
By Dan Rafael - Talk to any boxing promoter, manager or television executive with an involvement in the sport and they will all tell you that when fights do resume they will take place in controlled environments without spectators due to the coronavirus pandemic.

WBC lightweight champion 'in recess' Devin Haney says he would love to renew his rivalry with amateur foe, Ryan Garcia, who is now a hot contender in the paid ranks.

Ryan Garcia has been making the rounds lately calling out every formidable champion and contender in the lightweight division. Trainer Eddy Reynoso, who’s presided over the green Garcia’s coach for his previous four fights, believes that his promising 21-year-old pupil still needs a little bit more seasoning before being matched in mega fights.
Eddy Reynoso, the head trainer for lightweight star Ryan Garcia, believes his fighters need at least two or three more outings before facing the top boxers of the weight class, like Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis. In the last few months, Garcia has called for showdowns with Garcia and Davis, who both hold titles.
Having served as an integral part of Golden Boy Promotions since its formation in 2002, Eric Gomez has seen the company at its most struggling moments as well as its pinnacle.

Ryan Garcia has dream’s of being the greatest, and he says it will all start with a win over Gervonta Davis should they ever meet in the ring. “Once I beat Gervonta Davis like I’ve been calling it, that’s going to be like history repeats itself with Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali, who was Cassius Clay at the time when he fought Sonny Liston. He got his respect. He was a loudmouth,” Garcia told Fight Hype. “Once I beat Gervonta Davis’ ass, that’s when they’ll give me credit.”
