New doors are beginning to open for Ryan Garcia following his upset win over Devin Haney last week (highlights HERE), including a recent chance to show off his shadowboxing skills for former President of the United States Donald Trump.
Garcia, who is one of the fastest rising stars in boxing today, is coming off a masterclass performance against Haney earlier this month. Haney is the former undisputed lightweight king of boxing and is regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. Garcia leveled Haney from the opening bell and scored multiple knockdowns over the course of 12 hard rounds.
In the end, Garcia walked away with the win and an extra $12 million after betting on himself. It was arguably the biggest upset in boxing in recent memory and a performance by Garcia that will bring his superstar status to new heights in 2024.
Earlier this week, Garcia met Trump for the very first time and wanted to show off his boxing skills. The talented fighter did a few hard seconds of shadowboxing to display his hand speed before endorsing Trump for his 2024 presidential run. It was a bit awkward, but Trump seemed impressed.

Garcia, 25, is now one of the hottest tickets in boxing. The young star should end up walking away with $30-$50 million total for his win over Haney, but the good fortune won’t stop there. Garcia’s win over Haney will open more doors in the second half of 2024 and provide “King Ryan” another opportunity to impress the boxing world.
