Ryan Garcia is regarded as one of the most promising boxers among the current generation of competitors and has proven his mettle from time to time. However, due to his positive drug test results, fans continue to cast doubts on his legitimacy when he faced Devin Haney in April this year, despite his 24 wins over various fighters before. All of this has caused a maelstrom on social media.
Fans slammed the boxer for his misconduct, despite the fact that it is still being investigated and he has not been found guilty. The boxer declared that he is taking a break from social media in the middle of all of this. His social media hiatus, though, was short-lived as he shared a happy photo of himself and his son just the next day.

However, just the next day he shared four photos of himself with his son, Henry sitting on his lap. Henry Leo Garcia was born on December 23rd last year, with the boxer’s ex-wife Drea Celina.

Furthermore, he shared another post where his mother, Lisa Garcia, is seen playing with Ryan’s newborn son in a video. Take a look at what fans have to say about Garcia’s one-day social media break.

Garcia’s fans know that he enjoys pranks, as he has collaborated with social media personalities and pranksters in the past. An Instagram user mentioned how he feels tired of the pranks now and stated, “We tired of pranks bro”
