About Ryan Garcia
Ryan Garcia is an American professional boxer that began his professional career in the summer of 2016. For the past four years, he has been undefeated and has won multiple championships such as the WBC Silver Lightweight, WBC-NABF, and WBO-NABO (Junior) Super Featherweight Championships. As of now, the young boxer is ranked the sixth-best active lightweight boxer in the world by The Ring Magazine.
Ryan Garcia became famous after he began his professional career in 2016. He was born on August 8, 1998, in Victorville, California to Henry and Lisa Garcia. He has five siblings, three sisters named Demi, Kayla, and Sasha, and one brother, Sean, who is also a professional boxer. His parents played a huge role in his amateur career and they continue to assist him during his professional career. Ever since the past decade, his father has been consistently working as his trainer. His mother works as his personal (administrative) assistant for various commercial projects.
Garcia is often called “The Flash” or “King Ry”. He began boxing at the age of seven. During his amateur career, he was a fifteen-time national amateur champion who also amassed an amateur record of 215-15. Besides boxing, Garcia also played football, track and field, and volleyball in high school. He initially attended the La Salle High School before transferring to Adelanto High School in 2016. Due to his amateur boxing commitments, however, he was later forced to transition into homeschooling. He obtained his diploma in late 2018 and by that time, he was already 10-0 in professional boxing.
Defeating the likes of Romero Duno, Francisco Fonseca, and Luke Campbell among many other boxers is how this young professional boxer became rich. Ryan turned professional in early June 2016 and his first professional match was against Edgar Meza in Tijuana. He won the bout by TKO and by November secured a contract with the Golden Boy Promotions. Throughout the next two years, he continued to pick up wins against the likes of Luis Lozano, Jonathan Cruz, and Devon Jones earning himself around $10-15,000 per fight.
The Flash’s first major match came against Romero Duno at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in July 2017. He defeated Duno with a first-round knockout and in the process captured the WBC Silver Lightweight Championship. His guaranteed base purse from the event was $250,000, an amount that was doubled after his win.
Throughout the next year or so, he continued to win matches against Miguel Carrizoza, Fernando Vargas Parra, and Jayson Velez which brought him an additional estimated $100,000. Towards the end of 2018, Garcia was announced as the opponent of Francisco Fonseca. He went on to land seven punches before landing a knockout punch that secured him the win.
In 2019, thanks to his impressive records, he was able to secure high-stakes matches against the likes of Jose Lopez and Francisco Fonseca (in March and November), both of which he was able to win. Since then, he has had only two matches against Francesco Fonseca (in February 2020) and Luke Campbell (in January 2021) that he both won.
Maintaining an undefeated streak against 21 opponents for four consecutive years and winning numerous titles is what makes Ryan Garcia so successful. Since his win against Velez, Garcia has continued to rack up wins and make a name for himself. His last match of 2018 came against Braulio Rodriguez at the Madison Square Garden in December 2018.
In a short amount of time, Ryan Garcia was able to make a name for himself. He has been consistently winning matches against other established names in the boxing industry. In addition to that, he also starred in a few television series such as KTLA Morning News, Golden Boy on ESPN, and Celebrity Family Feud. Apart from boxing, since 2019, he has been an actor that has taken part in the television series On The Ropes where he has played the role of Sonny Mendoza.
Summing-Up
Ryan Garcia is one of the hottest professional boxers to emerge from the 2010s. He began his professional career just four years ago and ever since has been undefeated. Thanks to his 21 wins against both rising stars and already-established names in the professional boxing, he has earned himself a net worth estimated to be $5 million dollars.
