Early Life

Born on August 8, 1998, in Victorville, California, Ryan Garcia hails from a large family. He ventured into boxing at seven years old, eventually becoming a 15-time national amateur champion, racking up an amateur record of 215-15. His parents have always been supportive and actively involved in his boxing journey, continuing to back his career even now.

Boxing Career

Ryan Garcia turned professional at 17, making his pro debut on June 9, 2016, against Edgar Meza in Tijuana, where he emerged victorious by TKO. Shortly after, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions, leading Oscar De La Hoya to announce his debut date on December 17, 2016, at The Forum, where he won via knockout in the second round.

In September 2017, Garcia captured the vacant NABF Junior super featherweight title by defeating Miguel Carrizoza. By May 2018, he added the vacant NABC and WBO-NABO super featherweight titles to his accolades after beating Jayson Velez. In March 2019, he improved his record to 18-0 with a TKO win over Jose Lopez. He challenged Romero Duno in November 2019 for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title, and on February 14, 2020, Garcia knocked out Francisco Fonseca in the first round. He later defeated Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell, marking Campbell’s final fight before retirement, in April 2021. Following a break, Garcia returned to the ring in February 2022, defeating former IBO lightweight champion Emmanuel Tagoe by unanimous decision. He then TKO’d Javier Fortuna in July 2022 in six rounds.

$700 Million Deal?

In September 2019, Ryan’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, announced plans to secure an extraordinary $700 million contract for the rising star, believing that Ryan had the potential to become “the biggest star boxing has ever seen.” This proposed deal would have nearly doubled the previous $365 million deal De La Hoya secured for Saul Alvarez. However, it was never confirmed whether such a deal materialized. That month, Garcia’s contract with Golden Boy was renewed for five more years, though the terms were kept confidential.

Fight Earnings

Garcia began his career with earnings of $55,000; however, his knockout win against Romero Duno netted him a $250,000 payday. Despite this, Garcia felt undervalued by Golden Boy and eventually received a purse of $500,000 for that fight. His bout against Emmanuel Tagoe earned him a total of $3 million, including a 70/30 split of the PPV shares.

In April 2023, Ryan was guaranteed $2.5 million for fighting Gervonta Davis, in which he lost by a seventh-round knockout. With ticket sales and Pay Per View, both fighters likely gained an additional $10-20 million in bonuses.

Personal Life

In March 2019, Ryan Garcia welcomed a daughter into his life.

His brother Sean Garcia is also a professional boxer, with their father serving as one of their trainers. Additionally, Ryan has received training from Eddy Reynoso.

Embracing his Mexican heritage, Ryan Garcia, although born and raised in America, often brings both the American and Mexican flags to the ring while wearing the colors red, white, and blue.

Garcia marked a milestone by becoming the first American boxer featured in a Gatorade campaign, appearing in several television commercials to promote the brand.
