Shakhram Giyasov (17-0, 10 KOs) recently called out Ryan Garcia following the announcement that Devin Haney (33-0, 15 KOs), the WBO welterweight champion, will face Rolando “Rolly” Romero (17-2, 13 KOs), the WBA welterweight champion.

The Haney vs. Romero welterweight unification fight is in a late ‘serious’ stage for May 30th in Las Vegas.

With Haney’s next fight mapped out, Ryan Garcia, who is the WBC welterweight champion after defeating Mario Barrios on February 21, is left without a confirmed opponent.

Giyasov, reacting to Garcia’s recent win over Mario Barrios, praised the performance and made it clear he wants a future meeting between the two.

Shakhram Giyasov Aims For Ryan Garcia

Speaking with World Boxing News, Shakhram said:

Garcia did a great job, he did everything beautifully and clearly. I hope we’ll meet again. I’d like to fight him.

The unbeaten Uzbek also stressed that he is willing to face any leading name in the division, with his focus fixed on titles rather than opponents.

I’m ready to fight my favorite guy, who has a belt. It doesn’t matter to me who the opponent is, the main belt, and the big name.

Giyasov is the WBA mandatory challenger for Romero’s welterweight title and has not fought since April, waiting for his mandatory title shot.
