TMZ SPORTS — Ryan Garcia is one of the fastest rising stars in boxing … with a 17-0 record and a huge contract with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions.
But, what he REALLY wants … is a date with Selena Gomez!!
“She’s single so lemme shoot my shot,” the 20-year-old told us … “Lemme take you out!”
Garcia even gave a pitch to Gomez … saying, “I would protect you, you know!?”
He’s right … dude’s got a lethal left hook and has been obliterating opponents since he turned pro at 17 years old back in 2016.
Since then, Garcia has developed a huge following — with 1.7 million followers on Instagram!
Garcia tells TMZ Sports he’s working on closing a deal for his next fight in March — but he’s also seriously interested in fighting Tenshin Nasukawa … the guy who got beat up by Floyd Mayweather.
“He should fight me,” Garcia says … while making his case for why the two 20-year-olds would actually be an entertaining matchup.
Long story short … they’re more equally matched in size and experience — but Garcia says the outcome will be the same … Tenshin gets KO’d.
