Ryan Garcia recently appeared on Bradley Martyn‘s Raw Talks podcast, where he discussed his future plans beyond boxing.

When asked about his post-boxing career plans, Garcia admitted that he has thought about it and believes that he could become a speaker.

He said, “I just feel like maybe down the road I could be some type of speaker. Some type of speaker, something, and I’ll fall into a realm of that”.

While he acknowledges that he is still focused on his boxing career, he believes that he has the potential to be successful in other areas.

During the conversation, Martyn praised Garcia for his intelligence and emotional intelligence, saying, “I remember thinking like, ‘wow, this f**king, this kid is smart, very smart’. Obviously smart to get to this point, but social and all the things you’ve done. Great fighter, gotta have IQ smart in that sense as well. But, like emotionally and spiritually smart, and I was really impressed by that”. Martyn believes that Garcia has something special that goes beyond boxing.

Overall, Garcia seems to have a clear idea of what he wants to do after boxing. He is already thinking about how to transition into a new career.
