Oscar De La Hoya Slams Unapproved Ryan Garcia vs. Rukiya Anpo Fight: 'No Event Without Us'

Ryan Garcia wants to fight at RIZIN FF’s annual New Year’s Eve event in Japan.

On Tuesday, Garcia was in Los Angeles for a special face-off with Japanese kickboxing sensation Rukiya Anpo — the man he plans on fighting at RIZIN 49: Decade inside the iconic Saitama Super Arena on December 31.

That same day, Golden Boy Promotion’s head Oscar De La Hoya took to social media to remind both Garcia and RIZIN that he still has ‘King Ryan’ under contract.

“Golden Boy Promotions has exclusive rights to Ryan Garcia’s fights,” De La Hoya wrote on X. “The organizers of this event have acknowledged as such and have agreed in writing that our sign-off is needed for this event to occur. As no such sign-off has been given, as of today there is no event with Ryan Garcia.”

Fanmio promoting Ryan Garcia vs. rukiya anpo fight

Garcia vs. Anpo is being promoted by Fanmio, the same company behind the Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather exhibition bout in 2021 and more recently, the boxing match between former UFC stars Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal. That event reportedly brought fans to the arena, but not so much on pay-per-view, prompting Diaz to file a lawsuit against Fanmio, claiming the company screwed him out of $9 million.

Fanmio could find itself in another legal situation if they don’t work out a deal with Golden Boy.

In all likelihood, the bout will probably get scrapped considering Garcia and De La Hoya’s already strained relationship. Add in Fanmio’s sketchy past with promoting events and you’ve got a recipe for disaster that all parties should probably just avoid altogether.

Ryan Garcia Challenges Jake Paul: I’d Give the Fans What They Want and Knock Him Out

Ryan Garcia vs. Jake Paul

King’ Ryan Garcia has challenged the YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul to a match and is certain he can knock him out in the ring.

Ryan Garcia vs. Jake Paul

The American-Mexican boxer Ryan Garcia was a promising up-and-comer with a tremendous lead hook in boxing but has found himself in hot water for the past few years. He briefly held the WBC interim lightweight title in 2021. Despite his success in the ring, Garcia has faced personal challenges, including using offensive slurs on social media, and a recent suspension due to a failed drug test.

His next fight will be an exhibition against the much larger Rukiya Anpo in Rizin booked for New Year’s Eve. Last year, the kickboxing champion out-struck boxing legend Manny Pacquiao in an exhibition. Ryan Garcia feels he is avenging this loss. In an interview with Ariel Helwani, he explained:

“I was invited by Rizin to watch the Manny Pacquiao fight … And then I saw this dude, way bigger than Manny Pacquiao and way younger, just beating up—or trying to beat up—on him, going like haymakers the whole fight, just being obnoxious in the ring. And I was like, “Oh my God, dude, like, if they give me a chance, I’ll knock this dude out.” And then I guess the talk started there, and yeah, that kind of intrigued me to go, ’cause he was trying to beat up on Manny Pacquiao.

In Rizin, Ryan Garcia will look to get revenge for Pacquiao against Anpo. Additionally, he would like to avenge Mike Tyson’s loss to Jake Paul. In the same interview, Garcia added:

“People are asking me to fight Jake Paul. Which I got to give people what they want. I genuinely believe I would knock him out within four or five rounds … I know we’re cool, we’re cool for sure, but, you know, he was trying to beat up on Uncle Mike. You know, like I said, the same way I feel about Manny Pacquiao, same way I feel about this.“

Some potential issues with the match are that Jake Paul has a 100 lbs advantage and Golden Boy Promotions is protesting any fights with Ryan Garcia. But, money talks.

Manny Pacquiao Match, Rukiya Anpo Will Next Face Ryan Garcia

Ryan Garcia will take part in an exhibition match on December 30 in Tokyo. He’ll face Rukiya Anpo who is a former K-1 kickboxing champion at RIZIN’s New Year’s Eve event hosted in Tokyo, Japan. The fight will be at 153 pounds and last for eight rounds, with each round being two minutes long.

Rukiya Anpo vs. Ryan Garcia

Japan’s Rukiya Anpo is an experienced kickboxer who started in martial arts with Kyokushin Karate when he was just a child and would eventually earn national titles in the sport. As a professional kickboxer, Anpo would become a world champion in K-1 and was a fan favorite due to his impressive high kick knockouts.

Earlier this year, Rukiya Anpo had an exhibition boxing match against the legendary Manny Pacquiao in RIZIN. The Japanese athlete had a size advantage and won the vast majority of this match but it was scored a draw as per the exhibition rules. On New Year’s Eve, the kickboxer will next face Ryan Garcia.

Rukiya Anpo Ryan Garcia

Ryan Garcia is unable to compete in official matches as he is suspended. This happened after he tested positive for a banned substance earlier this year, right before his fight against Devin Haney. That fight ended in controversy—Garcia initially won but later had the result overturned. Garcia is a controversial fighter known for spreading hate speech online. Prior to that, he was a promising young boxer with an 85% knockout win rate and a mean left hook.

“I’m looking forward to knocking Anpo out for trying to knock out the legend Manny Pacquiao,” Ryan Garcia explained, “Manny is past his prime, and for him to try to knock him out rubbed me the wrong way. I will knock him out and teach [Anpo] a lesson of respect.”

In what has to go down as one of the most one-sided and jaw-dropping upsets in recent professional boxing history, Daniel Dubois retained the IBF heavyweight championship with a fifth-round knockout of Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in London.

Dubois became just the second man to knock out Joshua — and only the third to beat him — in his professional career. The defending champion put on a display that was flat-out dominant and one of the most brutal beatings Joshua received in the ring.

“Dynamite” brought this pace right from the get-go, rocking the former two-time unified heavyweight champion in the first round and dropping him before the frame’s conclusion.

The pace did not stop, and Dubois appeared three steps ahead of Joshua. In fact, he rocked “AJ” again in the closing seconds of the third round, knocking him down before the bell sounded.

Dubois knocked Joshua down again in the fourth stanza, and he appeared to do so for a second time before it was ultimately ruled a slip.

Things ultimately ended in the fifth, just as Joshua finally seemed to buckle Dubois with a right hand, putting him on the back foot. The fan favorite charged in an attempt to attack but was cracked and dropped by a counter right hook that landed on the button.

Joshua was unable to answer the 10 count, giving Dubois the win and ensuring the championship wouldn’t change hands.

Daniel Dubois Puts On Beating, Retains IBF Heavyweight Title With KO Of Anthony Joshua

Dubois has now won three straight since his unsuccessful challenge of Oleksandr Usyk in August 2023. He became interim IBF heavyweight champion with a finish of Filip Hrgovi? in June and was promoted to full-time champion when Usyk — then-undisputed heavyweight champion — was stripped of the IBF title.

Meanwhile, this loss snaps a four-fight win streak that Joshua was on since dropping back-to-back WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight championship decisions to Usyk.

Joshua had previously held the IBF title from his win over Charles Martin in April 2016 (and going on to pick up the WBA and WBO titles in the process) until his infamous June 1, 2019 loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. Joshua regained the titles in a rematch with Ruiz that December.
