The internet sensation, Ryan Garcia, ranks among the most eye-catchy young athletes in the sport of boxing. In no time, he’s made a fortune for himself and he’s a true fan favorite who’s elevating his boxing run in an ideal way.

‘King Ry’ even took it to his Instagram handle to reveal the timeline for his return bout. He wrote, “I’m back in October @gymshark and I’m having fun been a long time but it’ll be worth the wait La I’m coming to fight.”

Garcia took only one fight in 2021 and that came in against the stout Brit, Luke Campbell. The duo entered a mammoth showdown in January for the WBC interim lightweight title.

The 22-year-old was an undeniable favorite in this fight. But to everyone’s surprise, he was the first one to go to the canvas after falling prey to a body shot. Subsequently, he re-gained a vertical base, retained his composure and continued his attacks.
