WBC silver lightweight champion Ryan Garcia is yet to reach the pinnacle of boxing. He is unbeaten and has an alluring pro record of 20 wins with 17 KOs. However, the 22-year-old has spent just 4 years into the professional ride.

That said, he is still untested against several champions and has a long path to cover. But ‘KingRy’ is already a global superstar and his stardom exceeds the limits of the squared circle.

Ryan Garcia is a social media superstar and has a global fanbase. While his boxing accolades garner a lot of attention, his internet antics also bring him into the spotlight.
