Lightweight star Ryan Garcia has announced a change in trainers ahead of his return in the next few months.
In an official press release, Garcia revealed he is departing Eddy Reynoso and will now have Hall of Fame trainer Joe Goosen in his corner.
"I’m excited to announce that I will now be working with Hall of Fame trainer Joe Goossen, in addition to my father, Henry Garcia,” said Garcia in his statement.
Joe’s legendary career spans several decades working with championship fighters. I worked with Joe when I was growing up, and the two of us have maintained a great relationship over the years.
"I can’t wait to pick back up where we left off, and to continue this journey together. I’ll now be working out of my own gym, Fierce King, in San Diego — and my goal remains the same: to become a world champion.
“I would like to thank Eddy Reynoso for everything. Eddy has been in my corner since 2018, and I’ve learned a lot from him, both inside and outside the ring.
"We built an incredible friendship that I’ll always cherish. On behalf of my whole team, I wish Eddy continued success in his amazing career.”
Garcia hasn't laced up the gloves since his seventh round stoppage win against Luke Campbell in January 2021.
