Ryan Garcia has officially enrolled in doping tests with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA).
Details: Garcia will also participate in the doping testing program under the supervision of the California State Athletic Commission, as revealed by the fighter’s manager, Guadalupe Valencia.
This move marks the final stage in preparation for a scheduled three-fight series, which will include his return to the ring in May and a rematch with his fierce rival, Devin Haney, in October.
Reminder: The 26-year-old Garcia is currently serving a one-year suspension from the New York State Athletic Commission after testing positive for the banned performance-enhancing drug ostarine.
As a result, his victory over Haney on April 20, with a 31-0 record, was overturned, and the fight was ruled a no-contest.
Earlier reports stated that Turki Al-Sheikh plans to organize a boxing event in early May outdoors in Times Square, New York, before bringing Garcia to Saudi Arabia for two more bouts.
