Ryan Garcia fights for the second time this year when he takes on two-time world champion Javier Fortuna.
Fortuna has stepped up the weight classes to compete at 135lbs and was originally set to face Garcia last year before the American pulled out due to problems with his mental health.
Garcia was then hit with a hand injury which kept him out of the rest of 2021 before making his comeback against Emmanuel Tagoe last April.
Now the young American is set for his toughest test since returning to the sport when he takes on Fortuna.
