Boxing Career
Garcia is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, a mixed martial arts and boxing promotion firm.
Golden Boy Promotions was established in 2002 by Oscar De La Hoya, a Mexican-American former professional boxer who is an 8-time world champion.
When he represented the US at the 1992 Summer Olympics, De La Hoya was nicknamed “The Golden Boy of boxing” by the media. Oscar is the first American of Mexican descent to own a national boxing promotional firm.
Though Ryan doesn’t speak Spanish, Garcia is currently trained by Eddy Reynoso, a professional boxing trainer who is best known for having started his career with Mexican professional boxer Canelo Alvarez in 2005.
After he hired Eddy as his coach, Golden Boy Promotions wrote on their Instagram account:
The caption reads:
“The Face of Boxing welcomes the Future of Boxing to camp as Eddy Reynoso will now be the head trainer of super featherweight prospect Ryan ‘Kingry’ Garcia.”
Eddy Reynoso said:
“Without a doubt, we are talking about the best prospect right now in the world of boxing. He’s a young fighter who hits hard and is very fast.”

Controversy
After his scheduled fight with Avery Sparrow for September 14, 2019, was scrapped (due to the fact that Avery was arrested on September 13, 2019, and faces a gun charge for an incident in April 2019), the relationship between Ryan and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya, is highly tensioned.
This happened, since after the fight was canceled, Golden Boy Promotions went to the media and said that they had offered Ryan a fight with Filipino professional boxer Romero Duno, but Garcia and his team declined.
Golden Boy Promotions president wrote on Twitter that Team Garcia:
“declined the Duno fight since the trainer believed Duno was a tough opponent to take on 24 hour notice without proper preparation.”
Guadalupe Valencia, one of Ryan’s advisors, explained:
”Eric Gomez [Golden Boy Promotions president] had posted something indicating that Ryan believed that Duno was too tough and therefore we didn’t wanna fight him, which is a completely false statement.”
Ryan wrote on his Twitter account:
“My coach Eddy never said that! … I will continue to get peanuts, even though I move cards.”
Later, De La Hoya was asked if the parties could work things out. During an interview, Oscar confessed:
“Absolutely, why not? We can make him a lot of money, and we made him a superstar.”
On January 2, 2021, he won a match against Luke Campbell via TKO.
In April 2022, Garcia won against Emmanuel Tagoe via UD.
In July 2022, he beat Javier Fortuna in 6 rounds via TKO.
