Amateur career

edit

Garcia started boxing at the age of seven and dreamed of one day representing the United States in the 2016 Olympics.[3] He became a 15-time national amateur champion and amassed an amateur record of 215 wins and 15 losses.[4] His father Henry boxed professionally for a short time and trained his son to box.

Professional career

edit

Early career

edit

Garcia turned professional at age 17 on June 9, 2016. In his first professional bout, he fought against Edgar Meza in Tijuana, winning the match by TKO. Garcia soon signed with Golden Boy Promotions in November 2016.[4] Oscar De La Hoya announced Garcia would make his debut on December 17, 2016, on the Smith-Hopkins light-heavyweight main event at The Forum. Garcia won the fight by knockout in the second round.[5]

In October 2018, Garcia started training with Eddy Reynoso, who also trained Canelo Álvarez and Óscar Valdez at their gym in San Diego, California.[6] In September 2019, Garcia extended his contract with a new five-year deal with Golden Boy Promotions. Specific details of the multi-year deal were not disclosed.[7]

Rise up the ranks

edit

Garcia vs. Duno

edit

Golden Boy announced Garcia's next bout would be the co-main event of Canelo Álvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. On September 18, 2019 Romero Duno was announced as Garcia's next opponent.[8] Garcia defeated Duno with a first-round knockout, capturing the WBC Silver lightweight title.[9]

Garcia vs. Fonseca

edit

On January 2, 2020, Golden Boy announced Garcia would be facing Francisco Fonseca on February 14 at the Honda Center in Anaheim.[10] Garcia landed seven punches in the fight before landing a lead left hook which knocked out Fonseca in the first round.[11]

WBC interim lightweight champion

edit

Garcia vs. Campbell

edit

On October 8, it was announced Garcia would be facing Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell for the interim WBC lightweight title at Fantasy Springs Resort in Indio, California.[12] The fight was originally scheduled for December 5, 2020, but was pushed back to January 2, 2021, due to Campbell contracting COVID-19. The venue was also changed to the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.[13][14] In round 2 of his fight with Campbell, Garcia was knocked down for the first time in his professional career. He survived the knockdown, as he got up shortly after hitting the canvas. Later on in the fight, in round 7, Garcia hit Luke Campbell with a fight-ending body shot.[15] CompuBox statistics show Garcia outlanded Campbell 94 to 74 (32%) in total punches, and 77 to 51 (44%) in power punches, with Campbell outlanding Garcia in jabs 23 to 17 (15%).[16] The fight was ultimately Campbell's last bout before his retirement.[17]

Cancelled bouts vs. Fortuna and Diaz

edit

On April 13, 2021, it was announced by DAZN that Garcia would defend his newly won WBC interim lightweight title against Dominican former WBA (Regular) super-featherweight champion, Javier Fortuna. The bout was set for July 9 in a location to be determined, and the winner would become the mandatory challenger to WBC lightweight champion, Devin Haney.[18] However, on April 24, Garcia announced he had withdrawn from the bout, to "manage his health and well being".[19] Former IBF super-featherweight champion Joseph Diaz agreed to move up to lightweight to fill in for Garcia and fight Fortuna on July 9. Garcia was subsequently stripped of his newly crowned WBC interim lightweight title, with the title being on the line for Diaz and Fortuna instead.[20][21]

On October 8, 2021, it was announced that Garcia would be challenging Joseph Diaz in Los Angeles on November 27 for his WBC interim lightweight title following Díaz's victory over Fortuna, the same title Garcia had held after beating Luke Campbell and was subsequently stripped of earlier in 2021.[22] On October 15, 2021, Mike Coppinger of ESPN revealed that García suffered a hand injury and the fight with Diaz was to be postponed.[23] However, the bout ultimately never materialized.

Non-title fights

edit

Garcia vs. Tagoe

edit

On February 4, 2022, it was announced that Garcia would be returning to the ring after a long spell of inactivity against former IBO lightweight champion Emmanuel Tagoe on April 9.[24] Prior to the fight, Garcia left Reynoso and started training with Joe Goossen.[25] He easily dominated Tagoe, winning by unanimous decision with scores of 119–108, 119–108, and 118–109; this was his first bout to go the 12-round distance. He scored a knockdown in the second round and hurt Tagoe badly in the tenth, but was unable to finish his cagey opponent.[26]

Garcia vs. Fortuna

edit

On July 16, 2022, Garcia faced Javier Fortuna in a super-lightweight bout at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. Garcia dominated the fight, scoring knockdowns in rounds four, five, and six, with the referee stopping the fight after the third knockdown. All the judges had scored the fight identically 50–43 prior to the stoppage, giving Garcia every round.[27][28] Garcia received praise for his performance, which was described as being an improvement over his performance against Tagoe.[27]

Garcia vs. Davis

edit

The development of a fight between Davis and Ryan Garcia evolved over several years, beginning with early discussions in mid-2020 when both fighters publicly agreed, in principle, to face each other in 2021.[29][30] On November 17, Davis and Garcia announced via Instagram that a deal had been reached for a fight in 2023, set at a 136-pound catchweight limit and planned as a Showtime Pay-Per-View main event. Davis confirmed he would fight on January 7, which was expected to headline a Showtime PPV event, taking place in Washington, D.C. Garcia had been planning to campaign at 140 pounds, but agreed to drop weight to face Davis.[31] On January 18, De La Hoya confirmed that a contract had been received for the proposed bout, indicating that final details were being completed. The fight was targeted for April 15, 2023.[32][33] The date was pushed back one week, to take place on April 22. The rematch clause was only in place for Davis, meaning that if Garcia was to lose the fight, he was not able to automatically activate a rematch clause.[34][35][36] At the time of the fight being announced, Davis was a 3-1 favorite, according to Caesars Sportsbook.[37] On March 7, the T-Mobile Arena was announced as the venue.[38] On April 4, Davis claimed he had inside information from Garcia’s training camp, suggesting the existence of a “mole” or “snitch.” Davis indicated that this source had revealed details about Garcia being hurt during sparring, particularly to the body.[39]

Ahead of the bout, Garcia revealed that his contract included a rehydration clause requiring him to weigh no more than 146 pounds on fight night, 10 pounds above the agreed catchweight of 136 pounds. Garcia stated that the restriction would not affect his performance, while De La Hoya described the clause as standard and had no concerns.[40] Davis weighed 135¼ pounds and Garcia, weighed slightly more at 135½ pounds. There was a brief altercation during the face-off, where Davis lightly pushed Garcia before officials separated them.[41][42] Both were required to adhere to a 146‑pound limit. Davis and Garcia both satisfied a contractual second-day weigh-in requirement, weighing 144.1 pounds and 144.9 pounds respectively.[43][44][45]

In one of boxing's most anticipated fights of the year, Davis defeated Garcia via seventh-round knockout, with a decisive body shot.[46][47][48] From the beginning, Garcia started aggressively, using right hands and hooks to back up Davis. The first round was largely an exploratory round, with both fighters working on distance and timing. In the second round, Garcia overextended with a left hook, allowing Davis to slip the punch and counter with a hard left hook, dropping Garcia. Despite beating the count, Garcia’s momentum slowed down, and he adopted a more cautious approach in the middle rounds. Between the third and sixth rounds, both exchanged jabs and body shots, with Davis targeting Garcia’s body, strategically to slow him down. Garcia regained some confidence in the sixth and landed several rights to Davis’ face, but Davis maintained composure. In the seventh round, Davis landed a powerful left hand to the body, causing Garcia to take a knee. He attempted to rise but, visibly in pain and struggling to breathe, could not continue. Referee Thomas Taylor counted him out at 1:44 of the round, resulting in a seventh-round knockout win for Davis. This marked Davis’ 29th professional win and 27th knockout, while Garcia suffered the first loss of his career, dropping to 23–1.[49][50][51] At the time of stoppage, Davis was comfortably ahead on all 3 judges scorecards with scores 59–55 (twice) and 58–56.[52][53]

After the stoppage, Davis stated that Garcia’s body language convinced him the fight was over even before the count was completed. He said: “I didn’t think it was over, but I seen his face. That’s what made me think it was over.”[54] Davis also described the moment Garcia looked at him while on one knee: “When he was looking at me, I was looking at him like, trying to tell him, ‘Get up.’ And then he just shook his head no.” Davis also declared that he was the "face of boxing."[55][56][57] According to CompuBox punch stats, Davis landed 35 of 103 punches thrown (34%) and Garcia landed 39 of his 163 thrown (24%). 18 of the shots landed from Davis were body shots, showing that he targeted the body, ultimately getting the stoppage win, via a body shot.[58]

The fight reportedly sold over 1.2 million PPV buys on Showtime. It also generated approximately $22.8 million from ticket sales. The fight took place in front of a sell-out crowd of 20,842 fans.[59][60]

Garcia left his trainer, Goossen, a week after the Davis fight and hired Derrick James as his trainer in May 2023.[61]

Garcia vs. Duarte

edit

Garcia faced Oscar Duarte at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The fight took place on December 2, 2023.[62] Garcia won the fight by KO in the 8th round after landing a combination late in the round rendering Duarte unable to beat the count of the referee.[citation needed]

Garcia vs. Haney

On February 9, 2024, it was announced that Garcia vs. Devin Haney was signed[63] for April 20 in Las Vegas, Nevada for the WBC super lightweight title.[64] Two days before the fight, Garcia agreed to a wager with Haney that Garcia would pay $500,000 for every pound over the limit should he miss weight. Garcia later weighed in at 143.2lbs, 3.2lbs over the championship limit, and would forfeit up to $600,000 of his purse to Haney. Garcia was not eligible to win the title.[65]

Garcia won the bout via majority decision (114–110, 115–109, 112–112), knocking down Haney in rounds 7, 10 and 11 before coming away with the victory.[66] On May 1, Voluntary Anti-Doping Association notified all involved parties that Garcia had tested positive for Ostarine, a performance-enhancing drug, the day before and the day of his fight with Haney.[67] Garcia responded via social media and denied having taken performance-enhancing drugs, citing his willingness to take the drug test.[67][68] On June 20, the bout was changed to a no contest; Garcia was fined $1.1 million and suspended for a year due to testing positive for Ostarine, a performance enhancing drug. Garcia had made a settlement with the commission that avoids a hearing.[69]

Garcia vs. Romero

edit

In January 2025, it was reported that Garcia would face Isaac Cruz in New York City in May.[70][71] Later that same month, it was announced that Garcia would instead face Rolando Romero.[72][73][74][75] In early March, the fight against Romero was confirmed to be held in Times Square in New York on May 2, 2025.[76][77][78] Garcia lost the fight by unanimous decision, being knocked down by Romero with a double left hook in the second round.[79]

Expulsion from WBC

edit

On July 4, 2024, Garcia was expelled by the WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán after using racial slurs against black people and disparaging Muslims in comments livestreamed on social media. He was also called out on social networks being rumored that he was abusing illegal substances.[80] Sulaiman said that Garcia declined multiple attempts by the WBC to help with his mental health and substance abuse.[81] Garcia's family released a statement saying, "Ryan has been open about his ongoing struggle with mental health over the years and as a family we are committed to ensuring and encouraging that he receives the necessary help to navigate this very challenging time and address both his immediate and long-term well-being."[82] Garcia's ban was lifted by Sulaimán in November 2025.[83]

Garcia vs. Barrios

edit

WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios defended his title against Ryan Garcia in a DAZN pay-per-view main event held on February 21, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Branded as "The Ring: High Stakes," the matchup pitted Garcia against his former trainer, Joe Goossen, who is now training Barrios.[84][85][86] Garcia defeated Barrios via a 12 round unanimous decision; Garcia scored a knockdown in the 1st round.

Other ventures

edit

In 2019, Garcia starred as Sonny Mendoza in the Brat teen web series On the Ropes.[87] During 2021, Garcia signed a deal with sports drink Gatorade to appear on television commercials advertising the brand, thus becoming the first American boxer ever to appear on a Gatorade campaign.[88]

Personal life

edit

Garcia comes from a large family. His parents have been actively involved with his career since he was an amateur. His father remains one of his trainers and his mother works as his personal administrative assistant for commercial projects. Garcia attended Adelanto High School before leaving because of amateur boxing commitments.[89] In March 2019, Garcia's daughter was born. In December 2023, his son was born.[90][91]

He has openly discussed his faith in Christianity.[92] Garcia is a fan of the Los Angeles Rams of the NFL,[93][94] and the Los Angeles Dodgers of the MLB.[95]

Although American by birth, he often carries both the U.S. and Mexican flags into the ring and frequently wears red, white, and blue colors.[96] His walk out and victory music has frequently been "El Rey" by Vicente Fernández, a reference to Garcia's "King Ryan" nickname.[97] In December 2022, Garcia began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Rener Gracie.[98] He supported Donald Trump for president in 2024, with Trump's campaign publicly touting his endorsement.[99] However, he would go on to criticize Trump's deportation policy during his second term.[100] On January 31, 2026, he renounced his support of the president over the administration's handling of Epstein files.[101] In July 2024, he posted on X (formerly Twitter): "I don't support the LGBTQ + – whatever the fuck at all, fuck you guys rot in hell."[102] During the same month, shortly after the release of Eminem's twelfth studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), Garcia called the rapper a satanist and suggested that he was gay.[103][104] Also in July 2024, Garcia condemned the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics for its inclusion of a segment in which drag queens imitated the Greek God Dionysus which was often mistaken for the last supper, writing "Fuck the Olympics boycott it for the disrespect of Jesus Christ" and "The lgbq community is a cult".[105]

In 2024, his ex-wife Andrea Celina accused him of breaking into her home and smashing her belongings.[106] She also posted screenshots of text messages between her and Garcia, revealing the boxer's alleged aggressive and hostile behavior. According to Celina, Garcia's actions were fueled by his ongoing struggles with alcohol.[107] In June 2024, Garcia was arrested for damaging a room and hallway in the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, California.[108] According to the Beverly Hills Police Department, the hotel stated that Garcia caused an estimated $15,000 in damage.[109] The following month, Garcia was criminally charged with one misdemeanor count of vandalism, for which he faces up to a year in prison.[110]
