Remember the visuals of Canelo Alvarez having a hearty time golfing that emerged ahead of his Jermell Charlo fight? Well, it seems another popular boxer might be subscribing to the sport. Ryan Garcia in all his charm, posted images from his latest golfing session at the Pelican Hills Resort in California. The post has become the talk of the town, prompting his promoter Oscar De La Hoya to put their hostilities aside and send some kind words his way.

The super lightweight boxer is coming fresh from the stellar victory he bagged against Oscar Duarte on the 2nd of December. In his sole chance of redemption from the Gervonta Davis loss, he encountered in April this year. ‘KingRy’ shut his critics with an impressive 8th-round knockout. Now, in the wake of it, he spends some leisurely time on the golf course leading his fans to indulge in some adorable banter.

Ryan Garcia Styles Up on the Golf Course

Posting a carousel of images of him putting on the golf course. Garcia informed his fans, “Been golfing a little…comment if you want to play a round with me.” However, as a newbie on the course, he also asked for a coach to help him out. He commented, “I need a coach hit me up haha.” 

While most fans sought to educate him on the rules of the sport, his promoter, ‘Golden Boy’ wrote, “⁠I love it brother. Golf is such a beautiful peaceful sport.” Currently, the promoter and King Ry are involved in a bitter legal dispute that reached its tip at Garcia’s pre-fight press meet. The fighter accused De La Hoya and his team of not having his back and undermining him while De La Hoya called him emotionally weak. In the wake of his recent win, it seems like they are working through their issues.

Meanwhile, a fan compared him with Canelo, who is an avid golfer and takes part in celebrity golfing tournaments. The fan mentioned, “Love it. Following Canelos footsteps.”

One user threw some shade at the boxer for the Tank loss. The fan wrote, “⁠Atleast a sport where you won’t fall to your knees and give up.”

Then came professional bodybuilder, Steve Cook who suggested Ry get rid of his gloves while putting. He commented, “Love this, but take the glove off to put.”

Joining the herd was Steven Schanwald, former NBA player, and a boxing enthusiast. Inviting Ry to golf at one of his golf clubs, he commented, “Yes! If you ever get to south Florida or Chicago I will host you at one of my Clubs!”

While Garcia enjoys his time off at the golf course, his promoter already has his next fight lined up.

According to the ace promoter, the 25-year-old fighter could enter the ring in March of 2024. As per Golden Boy, if Ry does take a March fight, he would be able to undertake three fights for the coming year. Outlining a tentative plan for the fighter, the boxing mogul said, “He’ll spend the holidays with his family and then I think he’ll want to come back in March. Start some serious training to get ready for March. March is ideal. If we start in March, Garcia could have three fights next year. This could be a big year for him.”
