Judging solely from his online conduct, one would never fathom in a million years that his entire career might soon be at stake. Nevertheless, that is how things are currently! In his latest social media post, Ryan Garcia has shared a clip with an Instagram model, Ana Paula Saenz, in a mall in Saudi Arabia. What’s the clip all about?

Well, by the looks of things, the Victorville native seems to be in a carefree training session, as he teaches the model some boxing techniques right in the middle of a store. To put things into perspective, Garcia’s B-Sample test results are due on May 22 since he tested positive for PEDs during the Devin Haney fight last month. But ‘King Ry’ doesn’t seem worried!

Ryan Garcia: A slew of encounters

Garcia made his way to the oil-rich country just ahead of the highly anticipated Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury undisputed clash, positioning himself front and center for the historic event. Amidst the excitement, he found himself rubbing shoulders with football superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, adding a touch of star-studded glamour to his trip. And it didn’t stop there – Garcia also had a chance encounter with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua during his stay.

However, it was in a candid X space conversation where Garcia dropped a bombshell, revealing his unexpected take on Joshua. Despite their apparent meeting, Garcia pulled no punches, describing Joshua as “extremely fake.” This revelation raised eyebrows, especially considering Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, had previously worked with Garcia’s last opponent, Devin Haney. It’s plausible that this connection played a role in shaping Garcia’s opinion of Joshua.

Yet, amidst all the high-profile encounters and controversial revelations, nobody could have predicted Garcia’s unexpected rendezvous with the Instagram model, adding yet another twist to his eventful journey.

Hours ago, the 25-year-old boxer took to Instagram to share the clip in question, accompanied by a caption that exuded determination: “Training never stops @paulagalvan. Been an amazing session.” In the footage, the model could be witnessed throwing precise jabs and powerful straights under Garcia’s expert guidance. However, the moment Garcia shared the clip, the comment section transformed into a virtual battlefield, with users unleashing a barrage of witty and hilarious responses.

Fans joke that the model jabs better than Devin Haney

At this point, Garcia’s shenanigans online seem to have turned into a source of entertainment for his fans. As usual, his post instantly started attracting hundreds of commenters, expressing their thoughts on the matter. A seasoned observer, who’s been tracking Garcia’s online antics since the year began, pointed out Garcia’s pattern of swiftly connecting with a new girl every few days. The user wrote, “It’s a new girl every few days, man.” In fact, Garcia has gotten divorced, allegedly gotten engaged, and has also started dating in ‌the last few months.

Another user, probably Garcia’s fan, suggested the model jabs better than his last opponent, who was Devin Haney. “She Jabs better than your last opponent,” the user remarked. Actually, Haney used to be known for his jabs, but since the loss to Garcia, things have gone downhill!

Meanwhile, with a tinge of sarcasm, another user accused Garcia of giving the girl lessons on the finer points of PED usage. The user wrote, “You finna teach her how to properly use PEDs next?” On the other hand, it’s yet to be proven whether Garcia had taken said PEDs intentionally. 

In contrast, the next user settled on mocking Devin Haney, asking whether she could beat Devin Haney. The user commented, “Ryan, can she beat Haney?”

As the previous user posed the question, this witty commentator stepped in with a tongue-in-cheek response! They humorously proposed that once Garcia finished his training regimen with the model, she might just be able to out-duel Haney in the ring! “After Ryan finish training her, sis can beat @realdevinhaney.”

If not anything else, the video makes one thing clear! The fact that Ryan Garcia is confident about his innocence in the PED debacle, but only time will tell what his fate in the sport will look like. What did you think of the clip?
