The 24-year-old Ryan Garcia has been forced to grow up quickly. The top-rated lightweight contender must make sacrifices as a fighter, but he also has a long-term partner and two children to care for.
The hard-hitting Californian has been in a relationship with Drea Celina since 2019, just as his boxing career started to lift off. Celina gave birth to their daughter in 2020.
Making his pro debut in 2016, Garcia defeated Luke Campbell in 2021 to win the interim WBC lightweight title. This past July, he beat Javier Fortuna via TKO 9, which was his 19th knockout triumph.
On Saturday, Garcia will face Gervonta Davis in a 136-pound catchweight bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight will air on DAZN and Showtime PPV in the U.S. and is inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
