Finally, things are looking a little better for Ryan Garcia. The Victorville native has been embroiled in one controversy after another for more than a year now. Initially, it was the PED scandal against Devin Haney that resulted in a one-year ban. Then Rolando Romero spoiled his much-anticipated comeback with a shocking win.
In the aftermath, it came out that ‘KingRy’ had a broken wrist before the Rolly fight, and rather than treating it, the 26-year-old pushed through. The injury was so severe that when Garcia opted for surgery, it even jeopardized his career. However, with a never-die attitude and a burning desire for revenge, he promised to be back. And as the talks for a rematch against Rolly Romero have started, Ryan Garcia finally has some good news.
Ryan Garcia’s road to recovery
On Tuesday, the Victorville native took to his Instagram to post a mirror selfie of himself in a local gym. While he is not supposed to spar yet, ‘KingRy’ has been religiously working out from next day after the surgery. Currently, his workout consists of only strength training and roadwork, and this was a similar session.
I went and got the surgery for my hand and what I needed to get done, I never used that as an excuse for my fight.
The media is going to report the surgery. I’m just blessed it was done and successful.
Thank you to all for the love and support from the community and people…
