Ryan Garcia, the 22-year-old boxer, has turned himself into a superstar within a very short span. Making his debut in 2016, the youngster needed only five years to become the WBC Interim lightweight champion with an undefeated record of 21-0.

That said, Garcia’s charisma goes beyond the boxing circuit, as he is also a household figure. However, it hasn’t been a walk in the park for him. Garcia had to face several haters on his journey and while many predicted he would fail, ‘KingRy’ proved his critics wrong.

The Mexican-American superstar possesses sheer confidence and now, being a reputed pugilist, there’s no room for doubt.

Garcia revealed an inspiring story of himself via social media. He posted a picture of his childhood on Instagram, sending several fans into a frenzy.

Garcia often garners criticism from the fans for being brashy. Several analysts bill him as an Instagram boxer, but Garcia has time and again showcased his prowess inside the ring. As he also holds a valuable title in the WBC Interim 135 lbs strap, he can aim for the bigger steps ahead in his pro career.

‘KingRy’ is currently the mandatory challenger to Devin Haney’s WBC belt. However, Haney will face Linares, putting Garcia out of the line. Meanwhile, Garcia had teased a fight between him and WBA champion Gervonta Davis a few months back.

He also teased a possible showdown against octuple world champion Manny Pacquiao. But none of those fights seem to meet an official confirmation. So, Ryan Garcia still doesn’t have a fight after winning against Luke Campbell in January. But looking at the ongoing scenario, it seems that he will return to action in a massive bout ahead.
