Ryan Garcia seems to be touring the entire country following his spectacular victory over Devin Haney on April 20. At first, he linked up with Colby Covington as he taught the UFC star his iconic left hook. Then Garcia showed up to support presidential candidate Donald Trump! And now, the next stop on Garcia’s list seems to be the Colorado Springs game as he met Coach Prime, a.k.a Deion Sanders

As the Buffaloes offense took home the win today, Garcia was in attendance, providing the previously lacking star power. Notably, Sanders had invited Garcia to the game following the boxer’s win over Haney. So, to fulfill his obligation, Garcia didn’t miss the opportunity to visit the game and Sanders, donning a full Buffaloes uniform.

While posting a clip from their meeting, Garcia wrote in the caption, “COACH PRIME AND WE AREN’T TALKING ABOUT THE YOU KNOW WHAT.” Meanwhile, in the clip, Garcia can be seen entering Sanders’ office, as the duo sprang up in excitement. 

Amused by Garcia’s full Buffaloes uniform, Sanders even squared up against Garcia for a playful shadow boxing session. He then went on to express how proud he was about Garcia’s showing in the ring as the duo embraced each other. This encounter seems to have excited the fans more than a little, so they quickly took to the comment section to share their thoughts.

Fan thinks ‘King Ry’ Garcia is giving Gervonta Davis a run for his money

Garcia is at a point where people are as excited about his post on social media as they are about his fights. So, following his various meetings with celebrities, the Sanders post made one fan think Garcia was on a tour to gather support for presidential elections. The user wrote, “He doing his rounds like he’s campaigning for president lol.” Garcia did meet Trump, so Garcia might have been influenced by Trump’s campaign.

Someone else played a clever joke on Coach Prime’s name by highlighting Garcia doesn’t like KSI and Logan Paul’s energy drink Prime. The user wrote, “I thought you don’t like prime.” It’s worth mentioning that Garcia has continued his verbal war on Logan Paul and his beverage brand Prime, having spoken about it on the PBD Podcast recently. 

Another user questioned whether Garcia was on some sort of tour because he was meeting all these people while shadow boxing with them. “Is Ryan on some sort of shadow boxing tour??? Trump, Colby, Prime…,” wrote the user. 

Even the next user echoed the same feeling, while suggesting Garcia went on a nationwide victory tour after defeating Devin Haney. The user wrote, “Bro took his victory lap nationwide.” Notably, in most of these situations, Garcia was invited by the personalities.

Meanwhile, this user seems to think with Garcia’s new found boost in popularity he has left Gervonta Davis in dust. The user wrote, “Yeah he’s officially the face of boxing tank gotta step it up.” This could be also because Davis hasn’t fought in over a year while Garcia has fought twice, both wins. 

In a nutshell, by defeating Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia didn’t just further his career. But he has also become a beloved household name and someone whom everyone wants to remain associated with. However, will this be enough to convince Davis for a rematch?
