Ryan Garcia made a statement on July 16 after he finished Javier Fortuna in an emphatic fashion, knocking him out in the 6th round. This was supposed to be Garcia’s toughest challenge yet, however, he made quick work of the Dominican boxer and was in control throughout the fight.

Moreover, The Flash hasn’t been shy to boast about his victory and celebrate as he posted a picture with music icon and rapper Lil Wayne on the set of the NFL with the caption ‘Young Money and The New Money’, referring to Wanye’s famous nickname.

This was enough to send fans into a frenzy as they came out and reacted to this post, commenting on the unusual pairing.
