Ryan Garcia vs Jaber Zayani Announced for January 2025

Ryan Garcia will be stepping out of his suspension not for a professional fight but for an exhibition bout against Jaber Zayani in January 2025. Quite an unexpected announcement. Ryan Garcia has been banned for a year from competing professionally because of using illegal substances in his fight with Devin Haney. Garcia won the match, but the commissions overturned the decision and made Devin Haney the winner after Garcia’s test results came positive.

Focusing on the present, for those who are wondering who Jaber Zayani is, he is an undefeated professional boxer with a solid record of 18-0 (11 knockouts). This is undeniably the biggest fight of his career – increasing limelight is an inevitable consequence. It will be fascinating to see how well Zayani uses this opportunity to secure even bigger fights in the future.  

On the flip side, this can be considered a good warm-up for Ryan Garcia – his eyes are set on facing Devin Haney for a rematch and clearing all doubts that rose.
