You might scroll through your social media feed, see Ryan Garcia's mega-popular accounts (6 million followers on Instagram alone), and think that you've stumbled upon just another fitness influencer. He's got all the trappings of the archetype—a profile full of high-res photos and videos showing off his ripped physique and the workouts he uses to hone it, some glamour shots with perfectly coiffed hair, and, of course, the Gym Shark apparel sponsorship.
But if you dig a little deeper, you'll see what Garcia actually is: a legitimate contender. Currently, the 21-year-old boxer sports a 20-0 professional record (with 17 KOs) and holds the WBC Silver Lightweight title. His status on social media has helped him to become one of the most visible competitors in the sport even at such an early stage in his career—his highlight reel knockouts and fast hands are a fixture on huge sports Instagram accounts like House of Highlights and ESPN.
