Ryan Garcia vs. Oscar Duarte Welterweight Boxing Fight Date and Location Set

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya told ESPN's Mike Coppinger on Monday that Ryan Garcia will face Oscar Duarte on Dec. 2 at San Antonio's Alamodome.

The welterweight bout will be streamed on DAZN. It will be Garcia's first fight since his loss to Gervonta Davis, the first defeat of his career.

Garcia, 25, is 23-1 in his career and previously held the interim lightweight title. The 27-year-old Duarte is 26-1-1 in his career and should make for an intriguing stylistic matchup for Garcia.

"Here you have a guy (Duarte) who's coming off 11 KOs in a row," De Le Hoya told Coppinger. "There's a guy who's a power puncher who's going to come forward and make Ryan fight. It's the proper fight after a knockout loss to Gervonta."

For Garcia, the fight will be a return to 140 pounds after a 136-pound catchweight fight against Davis. Duarte, meanwhile, normally fights at 135 pounds but will go up to 140 for this matchup.

Garcia proved he could be a top draw in the sport, with his fight against Davis reportedly selling 1.2 million PPV units and taking in $22.8 million from ticket sales at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

So a strong showing against Duarte could be the stepping stone for bigger fights to come.

"We're looking to do a major, major fight with Ryan, possibly around Super Bowl weekend," De La Hoya said. "I would love to talk to Bob [Arum] to see what's going on with him and Teofimo [Lopez] but there's other options as well."
