A few weeks ago, Ryan Garcia called out boxing legend Floyd Mayweather for a return fight against him. Mayweather has been out of action for a couple of years now and has recently opened up about his financial troubles. Garcia called out the legend about fighting him and bringing an end to his money problems.

Mayweather, 49, retired from professional boxing in 2017 after defeating Conor McGregor in his 50th pro fight. However, he still kept participating in exhibition matches. According to Garcia's statements on social media, Mayweather has agreed to fight him in a non-exhibition match. A few weeks ago, ahead of Halloween, Garcia teased a potential match between him and Mayweather by uploading an edited video on his social media.

Now, weeks later, Garcia revealed that he would be returning to in-ring action in early Feb. 2026, seeking a second defence of his WBC welterweight World Championship. Earlier this year, Garcia defended his WBC title against Conor Benn, and is up for another title defense next year. Garcia vowed a quick comeback and has been linked to a unification bout with WBA 147lb champion Teofimo Lopez, along with a surprising clash against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Speaking on a Kick stream, Garcia opened up and claimed that he is expecting to take on Mayweather in a professional bout in Las Vegas on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2026. “We have an announcement, we are going to be fighting Floyd Mayweather on February 6. Floyd, we are going to kick your a**, well I am going to kick your a**. This is not an exhibition, this is a real fight, I can take his ‘0’. It is going to be in Vegas.”

“I am coming to really hurt Floyd. I want to hurt him bad. I want to put him in the hospital for two days. Floyd, I am sorry that I have to do this to you. You see that big a** head of yours? I am coming to beat the f**k out of you. You have never fought a fighter that wants to really hurt you, I will beat the f**k out of you,” he said.
