American top lightweight (up to 61.2 kg) Ryan “Kingry” Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) is the most popular foreign boxer in the Land of the Rising Sun. So says Japanese puncher Keita Obara (23-4-1, 21 KOs).
Reporter Ellie Sekbek asked the ex-welterweight contender who is the most popular in his country. He named ex-middleweight champion Ryota Murata (16-3, 13 KOs).
Recall that after his victory over Ryota, Golovkin gave Murata his chapan.
