Ryan Garcia is recovering from his 22nd April loss to Gervonta Davis. In this process, the 24-year-old boxer took to Instagram and quoted a line from the Bible, and motivated himself in public. Less than a month ago, Garcia went inside the ring with Davis with an ambitious hook and a 3-inch of reach advantage. However, Davis, too hard for Garcia to handle, left the latter surprised with his accuracy and stopped him in the 7th round with an explosive shot to the body.

Despite the loss to Davis, a number of critics, analysts, and boxing fans lauded Garcia for taking the bout against ‘Tank’. In the same vein, Garcia promises to make a stronger comeback and establish himself as one of the best boxers the sport has ever seen. However, while still recovering from the wound imposed by Davis, Garcia made a biblical reference.
