Ryan Garcia: An Inside Look at His Boxing Career

Ryan Garcia, originally from Victorville, California and currently residing in Los Angeles, is recognized as a former WBC interim lightweight champion and a prominent young talent in the boxing world. Beyond his boxing achievements, Garcia has also gained significant popularity on social media, boasting a large following of over 12 million on Instagram and 8.6 million on TikTok.

Prior to his defeat against Gervonta Davis in April 2022, where he lost by a seventh-round knockout, Garcia had secured victories in six out of his preceding seven matches via stoppages. In a recent bout against Devin Haney, Garcia initially won by majority decision. However, this result was later overturned to a no contest after he tested positive for ostarine, a prohibited substance. Consequently, the New York State Athletic Commission suspended Garcia for a year. Throughout his career, Garcia has achieved significant wins against notable opponents such as Jayson Velez, Luke Campbell, and Javier Fortuna.
