Ryan Garcia predicts outcome of potential clash against Jake Paul: "Knock him out"

Ryan Garcia recently predicted what the outcome would be should a bout against Jake Paul come to fruition. The boxing star was critical of 'The Problem Child's latest performance against Mike Tyson and expressed interest in avenging the boxing legend.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has received plenty of callouts since his unanimous decision win over the former heavyweight boxing champion. Among those that have called him out include Daniel Dubois, undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev, and now Garcia. It's important to note that 'King Ryan' competes at a much lighter weight class than Paul, so they would have to come to an agreement on a contested weight, should a fight materialize.

During his latest appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, the 26-year-old expressed interest in fighting 'The Problem Child' and noted that he doesn't have any personal animosity or ill will towards him. Garcia mentioned that he would be confident in his chances despite the size discrepancy and even predicted a convincing knockout win over Paul:

"I really think [Paul's team] genuinely think think that I'm probably too small...You see Floyd [Mayweather] when he fought Logan [Paul], Logan was way bigger than him, so I feel like I could do the same thing...Everywhere I go, people are asking me to fight Jake Paul, which I have to give people what they want...If Jake fights the way he fought with Mike [Tyson], I genuinely believe I'll knock him out within 4 or 5 rounds."

When is Ryan Garcia fighting next?

Despite serving his retroactive suspension following his failed drug test, Ryan Garcia is scheduled to return to the ring for an exhibition bout against Rukiya Anpo at Rizin's annual New Year's Eve event in Japan.

During the aforementioned appearance, 'King Ryan' disclosed that the bout materialized after he was in attendance for Anpo's bout against Manny Pacquiao. Garcia mentioned that he took offense to how the Japanese kickboxer was competing and wanted to get in the ring with him:

"I see this dude [Anpo] way bigger than Manny Pacquiao and way younger trying to beat up on him and was throwing haymakers the whole fight, just being obnoxious in the ring. And I was like, 'Oh my God, dude, if they give me the chance I'll knock this dude out', and I guess the talks started there. And yeah, that kind of intrigued me to go." [1:56:41]
