Barely two months shy of his eighteenth birthday, Ryan Garcia got the better of Edgar Meza on 9th June 2016. The technical win began a template that saw the Victorville, California native get past high-caliber boxers like Luke Campbell and Javier Fortuna.
Out of the twenty-three bouts he has fought so far, nineteen came his way through knockouts. Next year KingRy will probably face the biggest fight of his career. At a venue that organizers are yet to decide, he will take on current WBA (Regular) Lightweight champion Gervonta Davis on 15th April.

As much as he is busy preparing for the showdown, Ryan Garcia has never shied away from the limelight. With the body and face that may give a commercial model a run for his money, Ryan agreed to appear in the television commercials of sports-drink makers Gatorade in 2021. He is the first American boxer to do so.
Garcia enjoys going shopping and considers it the best way to indulge himself.
He declares, “I’m really into fashion. “It’s like a project for me. And I don’t half-a** anything. I have to try my hardest. That looks good; that don’t look good, OK.”
He enjoys visiting shops and trying out different items and outfits.
The Name is Garcia, Ryan Garcia
However, his latest caper rubbed the fans the wrong way. The James Bond impression drove quite a few fans up the wall. Many have expressed dismay towards his latest fashion post at a time when he should be busy preparing for the big fight against Gervonta Davis. The latter will fight Puerto Rican Hector Luis Garcia on 14th January, an engagement many treat as preliminary.

A sensible, sound advice from someone who’s been through many summers.
Just concentrate on boxing young man. Posing can be done once your career is over when you’ve gained legendary status.
Remember the 14 yr old boy who wanted to conquer the world and nothing would stop you. Have you forgot that, I haven’t.⚽️Jo— David murray (@Davidmurray5555) November 30, 2022
Some supporters of KingRy did try to intervene.
Man people really don’t have a life and like to just comment negatively it’s funny. Keep leveling up Ryan. 👍

When KingRy and the Tank meet
In the first half of 2021, Ryan was preparing to face former WBA (Regular) Super Featherweight champion, Javier Fortuna from the Dominican Republic. However, he excused himself from the fight citing mental health challenges. As a result, the WBC Interim Lightweight title that Garcia won against Luke Campbell was held null and void.

The fight with Gervonta, even though not rewarding in terms of a title win, is all the more prestigious. They are two of the quickest hands in boxing, both household names with a loyal fan base.
