Embattled boxer Ryan Garcia, who is serving a one-year suspension for a banned substance, said that he's serious about being Jake Paul's next opponent in the ring.

Suspended boxer Ryan Garcia isn't eligible for a real bout until April, but that's plenty of time for him to throw his hat in the ring as a potential next opponent for Jake Paul, USA Today reported. The 26-year-old former WBC interim lightweight champion appeared on the Ariel Helwani Show and staked his claim to be the first opponent Paul fights after his exhibition match-styled dispatch of Mike Tyson.
