Sulaimán highlights the improvements Ryan Garcia has shown

The president of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Sulaimán, positively assessed the recent performance of American boxer Ryan García.

Following the victory by the technical nocaut in the second assault against British Conor Benn, the sports leader noted that the 147 pound monarch managed to stabilize his professional career after crossing various complications outside the squad throughout the last seasons.

The trajectory of the Californian fighter experienced a stage of instability linked to sports suspension and competitive pauses, situations that resulted in the annulment of his previous result against Devin Haney. However, the athlete modified his dynamics of work in the gyms to conquer the wélter championship at the beginning of the year against Mario Barrios and concretize his first successful defense during the home festivals in Las Vegas.

During his weekly meeting with the media at the traditional Martes de Café event of the rector’s body, Mauricio Sulaimán highlighted the process of reorganization of the boxer. “Ryan Garcia proved to have an excellent level, he recovered everything he lost in a few years with his personal issues. Now it is at a star level, at the highest level and the fight of Saturday was the one that represented the commemorative belt of this 2026,” he told the specialized press.

The star-fighting at the T-Mobile Arena presented a reporter who recorded a remarkable tonnage advantage after the weighing ceremony. Despite this physical difference, the defender monarch dominated the actions from the first bell, shattering his opponent in the second episode and forcing the arbitrator's intervention to decree the end of the regulatory commitment by the fast-track.

Regarding this performance on the tapestry, Mauricio Sulaimán considered that the Californian has the statistical merits to be among the most prominent athletes of the annual cycle. “Ryan’s was something terrible, something impressive. It was a mandatory battle that he fulfilled. Now what remains is rest. He can be the champion of the year, he is among the great candidates with two very important triumphs this year. He wants to come to Mexico soon,” the president of the entity said.

With the green band and gold insured, the fighting team projects unification scenarios against the monarchs of the other rulers, profiling names like Teófimo López or Devin Haney, as well as evaluating contractual options against Shakur Stevenson. In the face of these commercial alternatives, the sanctioning entity will maintain a standing position until it receives the corresponding applications from the promoters.

Addressing the logistics to sanction these possible international crossings, Mauricio Sulaimán pointed out that the body will evaluate the formal proposals once they enter the directive offices. “We will see when a formal request has been made to the body, we will analyze it. There is no inconvenience in that fight," he said directly in reference to a hypothetical confrontation against Shakur Stevenson.
