Via Matt Lieberman: Joseph ‘Jojo’ Diaz Jr asked Golden Boy Promotion CEO Oscar De La Hoya to let him fight next. Jojo Diaz is promoted by Golden Boy, making them an easy fight with Ryan.
With Ryan (21-0, 18 KOs) about to miss a year due to mental health issues and injuries, Golden Boy must choose the right fighter for him to face next.
Rumor has it that former IBF super featherweight champion Jojo Diaz is the one Golden Boy wants to fight for King Ry, not Pitbull Cruz.
Assuming it’s true Jojo is the person Golden Boy always wanted give Ryan the next fight, which would explain why the negotiations with Pitbull Cruz didn’t work out. In other words, it’s just a game.
They don’t want Pitbull anywhere near Ryan because what they want is the slow, gentle Jojo Diaz, who isn’t anywhere near the threat as Cruz.
If the Golden Boy doesn’t want Ryan to fight Cruz because he’s too dangerous, it’s no surprise that the negotiations have failed.
The way De La Hoya revealed on social media that Pitbull Cruz’s head is unacceptable “Fat Offer” looked suspicious as if it was a move to hide him in case Ryan got mad because he couldn’t fight.
It’s all just a front and shame in front of the media, to whom we are giving this stupid ass story. All looks good, knowing full well it’s not happening. It’s all a surprise to see how quickly this happened that 360 and a new target opponent showed up lol. https://t.co/G5fNxz4h1I

Interestingly, Ryan’s reaction to the unaccepted fight offer seems to be one of relief, as if he’s glad that Pitbull Cruz didn’t agree to the fight.
Jojo Diaz’s decisive 12th round one-sided loss to WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney last month on December 4 makes him the wrong candidate for Ryan’s next bout.
Haney dominated Jojo Diaz from start to finish, losing almost as badly as he did in defeat to Gary Russell Jr in 2018.
Get me in there with the next Ryan! @OscarDeLaHoya @GoldenBoyBoxing @RyanGarcia @makeawar @Micheladatime

Ryan, 23, is the one who unintentionally created controversy about his fight with Isaac Cruz when he called him a “C-class fighter” in response to the Mexican native saying he would be ready to fight. him on his field.
Diaz Jr (32-2-1, 15 KOs) may have been paying attention to this week’s news and noted that Ryan’s negotiations for a fight against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz had failed.
Now that Jojo Diaz has indicated that he wants Golden Boy Promotion to put him in there with Ryan Garcia, chances are that’s exactly what they’re going to do.
Depending on whether De La Hoya can restart negotiations with the famous 23-year-old ‘Pitbull’ Cruz (22-2-1, 15 KOs), Golden Boy will need to head in a different direction to find one. suitable opponent for Ryan. fighting in April.
