Ryan Garcia is one of the most famous boxers in the world, thanks to his online presence. The 22-year-old has not done badly for himself in the ring either.

Despite all this, ‘The Flash’ became famous for posting videos of his training and skills and is now a global star.
Prior to turning pro, Garcia had a very decorated amateur career. He started boxing at the age of 7 under the tutelage of his father, Henry Garcia. The super-star boxer amassed a staggering 15 National Gold Medal Championships, and Gold medal at the 2016 Youth World championships. He also represented the United States Youth Olympic team.
Garcia turned pro at the early age of 17 and had his first fight in Tijuana, Mexico, where he beat Edgar Meza. He has not looked back since and is undefeated.
Life away from boxing has been a roller-coaster for the young fighter. His biggest moment outside the ring was the birth of his daughter, Rylie.
