At the Mar-a-Lago retreat of the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, the former interim lightweight champion impressed everyone with a demonstration of his speed and boxing skills. Later, he even seemed to have confirmed his support for the nation’s 45th president.

Now, as it appears, a photo taken at the venue has seemingly become a topic of conversation among vast hordes of fans and followers.

After the latest triumph, speculations are rife over Ryan Garcia’s next fight. Talks of a rematch with Devin Haney made it to the news but remain uncertain. The possibility of a fight with fellow light welterweight Teofimo Lopez remains high. Especially considering both boxers enjoy considerable popularity on social media and share a penchant for trash talking, it makes for a good match. Additionally, ‘KingRy’ himself expressed an interest in fighting against welterweight champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. Thus, options are galore for Garcia, who, with the victory over Haney, rediscovered his mojo and has once again become one of the biggest names in boxing today.
