Father of Pitbull Cruz says fighting Ryan Garcia is not a priority

The environment of Mexican boxer Isaac Pitbull Cruz goes through a period of strategic analysis on the next stages of his professional career in the squad.

Having completed the second defense of his interim super lightweight championship of the World Boxing Council against Néstor Bravo, the Pitbull Cruz technical representation evaluates the options available within the international market, prioritizing the achievement of the absolute scepter of the 140 pounds above financial commitments of greater media reach.

Tapatío’s coach and father, Isaac Cruz Sr., argued that the team’s attention should be focused on the regulatory scene of the super light division. Despite the interest generated by a possible fight against champion Ryan García, the Pitbull Cruz corner considers it inconvenient to alter the weight category to respond to the calls of the American boxer on digital platforms.

In statements offered to the media about the calendar management, the Pitbull Cruz preparer stressed the importance of waiting for the regulatory turn for the world title. Isaac Cruz He noted that the pursuit of economic remuneration should not subordinate his son’s sports development, assuring that the large contractual bags will naturally consolidate after the conquest of the absolute band of the sanctioning body.

The Pitbull Cruz’s sports planning is conditioned by the October 24 match between Dalton Smith and Alberto “Avispa” Puello in British territory. The winner will hold the status of regular monarch of the £140 CMB, which would activate the process of compulsory unification against the Mexican boxer during the first half of 2027.

This regulatory route allows the Pitbull Cross to compete within their natural weight range without incurring physical advantages over their opponents. According to the criteria of his technical body, staying in the super lightweight division guarantees an optimal performance, avoiding the wear and tear of competing against rivals who register over 155 pounds after the rehydration phase in the wélter weight category.

Despite the observations issued by his nearby surroundings, it was the capitalist who launched the initial challenge toward García’s surroundings at the end of his last official presentation. The U.S. monarch's response raised the option to coordinate the role for December; however, there are no contractual confirmations on the pacted weight or seats for the event.

The final decision on the course of the Pitbull Cruz race will depend on the assessments made by the promoter in coordination with the training team. While exchanges on social media persist, the technical priority remains focused on securing the fight for the undisputed £140 championship before exploring crossings in upper divisions.
