When Can Ryan Garcia Fight Again?

Earlier in the week, the New York State Athletic Commission suspended Garcia for a year for failing multiple drug tests ahead of his highly anticipated clash with Devin Haney in April. In addition to the suspension, he was forced to forfeit his disclosed purse of $1.2 million.

Garcia made much more than that for the fight, but very few people on Earth would be indifferent about giving up such a large sum of money. Garcia was also fined $10,000 for the ordeal. While Garcia's suspension is for a year, the suspension is retroactive to the date of the fight with Haney, which happened on April 20.Because of that, at the most, Garcia will miss one potential fight date. Having fought in April, Garcia likely wouldn't have climbed back in the ring before October.

He'll keep himself visible and polarizing to boxing fans while he waits to be cleared to return to the sport. He's still just 25 years old, talented, and as popular now as he's ever been in his short career. When he comes back, he could be in his physical prime. It is tough to tell how mentally fit he'll be. Garcia has openly discussed his mental health issues, but he has also made light of his situation.

Thus, it seems more likely Garcia will move up once it is time for him to return to boxing. I wouldn't expect Garcia to climb back into the ring with someone like Haney, Gervonta Davis, or a household name. Keep an eye on two potential opponents for Garcia if he moves up to welterweight when he returns: Cody Crowley and Conor Benn.Crowley is an undefeated fighter at 22-0, but he has just nine knockouts in his career.
