 Ryan Garcia Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Ryan Garcia has been everywhere the past few days, from making headlines in the boxing world to dominating social media with his lightning-fast hands. The biggest story right now is the viral training clip posted this week by fitness brand YoungLA on Instagram, which has racked up over 35 million views almost overnight. The video shows Garcia unleashing a flurry of devastatingly quick punches and slick footwork, and fans are loving it. Supporters say it’s proof that after months of setbacks and rehabilitation, Ryan is not just back, but might be in the shape of his life. According to the Times of India, that video isn’t just a highlight moment—it’s become a symbol of his resilience and sparked renewed buzz about his readiness for the next big fight.

On the business side, that YoungLA partnership is keeping him in the public eye and solidly connected to the digital-first generation. Garcia has always blurred the lines between athlete and influencer, and this viral training moment just further cements that reputation.

But there’s more. Garcia has been all over social platforms, especially X, trading jabs—this time verbal—with both Jake Paul and Shakur Stevenson. Just days ago, Ryan openly slammed Jake Paul’s upcoming fight with Gervonta Davis, going as far as calling it “dishonest” and accusing Paul of hyping up a massive size mismatch between him and the much smaller Davis. Jake Paul didn’t take it lying down; he shot back that Garcia’s just bitter because Paul might beat Davis, the same opponent who knocked Garcia out in 2023. According to Bloody Elbow and BJPenn, the beef is getting fans fired up, with both Paul and Garcia refusing to back down.

Meanwhile, the war of words escalated between Garcia and lightweight rival Shakur Stevenson. Boxing News 24 reports that the two exchanged jabs on X about who’s the bigger star and who really brings in the fans. Stevenson poked fun at Garcia’s recent loss to Rolando Romero, but Garcia clapped back by flexing his $50 million net worth and 12 million Instagram followers, dwarfing Stevenson’s 1.2 million. The numbers back Garcia up: when it comes to crossover appeal, he’s a box office draw regardless of recent losses.

In terms of future fights, Sports Illustrated confirms that Sean O’Malley, UFC’s striking sensation, said he’d box Garcia for a $10 million payday, though he’d rather fight Gervonta Davis. Rolando Romero, who owns a win over Garcia earlier this year, publicly stated he’s open to a high-stakes rematch—so fans should keep an eye out for a big announcement soon. As Boxing News details, Garcia’s own “hit list” has been dropped on social channels, teasing major bouts in the coming months.

For Ryan Garcia, it's a week of viral resurgence, heavy social media dust-ups, business savvy, and fight rumors—all feeding his narrative as one of boxing’s most watched and most talked-about figures.
