Early Life

He began boxing at the age of seven, ultimately becoming a 15-time national amateur champion with an impressive record of 215 wins to 15 losses. His parents provided unwavering support throughout his boxing journey, and they remain active contributors to his career today.

Boxing Career

Turning pro at just 17, Ryan Garcia made his professional debut on June 9, 2016, against Edgar Meza in Tijuana, winning by TKO. Shortly afterward, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions, with Oscar De La Hoya announcing his debut on December 17, 2016, at The Forum, where he claimed victory via knockout in the second round.

In September 2017, he captured the vacant NABF Junior super featherweight title by defeating Miguel Carrizoza. He went on to win the vacant NABC and WBO-NABO super featherweight titles, beating Jayson Velez in May 2018. In March 2019, he achieved a TKO victory over Jose Lopez, improving his record to 18-0. Later, in November 2019, Garcia faced Romero Duno for the WBO NABO Lightweight Title. On February 14, 2020, he scored a first-round knockout against Francisco Fonseca. Garcia beat Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell in April 2021, marking Campbell’s final fight before retirement.

He also defeated Javier Fortuna via TKO in July 2022, finishing the bout in six rounds.

$700 Million Deal?

In September 2019, Ryan’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, disclosed plans to assist the rising star in securing an unprecedented $700 million contract. De La Hoya believed at the time that Ryan had the potential to become “the biggest star boxing has ever seen, hands down.” This proposed $700 million deal would have nearly doubled the $365 million deal Oscar negotiated for Saul Alvarez. However, whether any such monumental deal materialized remains unclear. That same month, Garcia’s contract with Golden Boy was extended with a new five-year agreement, but the specifics of the terms were not revealed.

Fight Earnings

Starting his career with earnings of $55,000, a significant knockout victory over Romero Duno netted Garcia a payday of $250,000. Despite this success, Garcia felt he wasn’t being adequately respected.

Golden Boy promoted the fight, and Ryan Garcia’s purse totaled $500,000 after the match. His encounter with Emmanuel Tagoe brought in $3 million for Garcia, comprising a 70/30 split of the PPV revenues.

In April 2023, Ryan secured a guaranteed $2.5 million for his fight against Gervonta Davis, in which he suffered a knockout in the 7th round. Additionally, with ticket sales and Pay Per View revenues, both fighters likely accrued between $10-20 million in bonuses.
