Ryan Garcia is one of boxing’s youngest and brightest stars today. He is the holder of WBC’s Silver Lightweight title since 2019. The Ring magazine has ranked him as the world’s fifth best active lightweight boxer. He is in the top ten of the rankings issued by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board and BoxRec. Ryan Garcia is managed by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions. Ryan Garcia, who holds a formidable 20-0 (with 17 wins coming by knockout) record so far in his pro career, is very popular on social media. He has over 6 million followers on Instagram and he engages very actively with all his fans. Last year, Ryan Garcia was scheduled to fight Avery Sparrow in the co-main event of the Jaime Munguia-Patrick Allotey card in Carson, California on September 14th. However, the fight was scrapped as Sparrow was arrested before the weigh-ins on an outstanding warrant because of a gun charge in Philadelphia. Golden Boy Promotions attempted to keep Garcia on the card and have him face Duno on 24 hours’ notice.

When that didn’t happen, there was a public back and forth between Ryan Garcia and Golden Boy Promotions. However, all the squabbles were laid to rest and Ryan Garcia signed a lucrative multi year deal with Golden Boy Promotion after some time. Let’s take a look at the incredible career of this young boxer.

What does the future hold for Ryan Garcia?

Ryan Garcia, a fast-rising athlete who is boxing for the Los Angeles-based Golden Boy Promotions fight firm, is competing in the absurdly-competitive lightweight division.

Backed by Oscar de la Hoya, himself once renowned for being a boxing phenom with fast hands, Garcia is unbeaten in 20 professional fights.

His last victory was so brutal he bounced his opponent’s head off the canvas with a left hook knockdown, prompting the industry to say: “A new star is born.”

What did Ryan Garcia say about Gervonta Davis?

There are many viable rivals in the 135-pound division for Garcia, as Vasyl Lomachenko (good luck trying to beat him), Teofimo Lopez, and Devin Haney all compete at that weight limit.

However, Garcia appears to have genuine animosity toward Floyd Mayweather’s protégé Gervonta Davis, a knockout puncher proving to be one of the sport’s bona fide ticket-sellers.

Beating Davis in style is the win that would catapult Garcia into Ali-like territory, the young fighter said recently.

“Once I beat Gervonta Davis like I’ve been calling it, that’s going to be like history repeats itself with Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali,” Garcia told Fight Hype.

“He got his respect. He was a loudmouth. Once I beat Gervonta Davis’ ass, that’s when they’ll give me credit.”

Garcia and Davis are regarded as two rising stars who have the potential, as well as the representation, to potentially dominate the sport in the coming decade. And even though they cannot fight for months because of the coronavirus pandemic, they have been hyping a fight on Twitter.

Garcia said victory over Davis would be a stepping-stone to even bigger things, as he has his crosshairs on the entire weight class. “I’m a f*****g beast … I’m telling you,” he said.

“Once I beat Gervonta Davis’ ass … then I’m going to do it like Muhammad Ali and take it to a whole another level and start beating everyone’s ass.”

Garcia’s confidence appears to come from the physical differences between the two athletes. At 5-foot-10, Garcia is reasonably tall for the division, particularly compared to Davis, who measures up at 5-foot-5 — but is, as his nickname “Tank” suggests, is stockier.

“He’s a talented fighter, and he’s got okay skills,” Garcia said. “But there’s one thing that he wasn’t blessed with and that’s height.

“He’s never going to be able to touch me, and I don’t care about him on the inside. He’s short as f**k and he doesn’t have the reach. Whether you like it or not, he’s short as f**k. He’s not going to be able to reach me while backing up. When he sees all my skills, he’ll run away. I’m taking him down.

“I got some s**t for him … he might run away like a b***h. You hear me, Gervonta Davis, you’re a b***h.
