A few days ago, Ryan Garcia grabbed major headlines. At the Mar-a-Lago retreat of the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, the former interim lightweight champion impressed everyone with a demonstration of his speed and boxing skills. Later, he even seemed to have confirmed his support for the nation’s 45th president.

Now, as it appears, a photo taken at the venue has seemingly become a topic of conversation among vast hordes of fans and followers. The 25-year-old Californian, shattering all existing assumptions, inflicted a crushing defeat on the reigning light welterweight champion and P4P best, Devin Haney, ten days ago.

Taking to his X/Twitter handle, Ryan Garcia simply wrote, “AMERICA.” The attached photo featured him alongside former President Donald Trump. However, many fans found something amiss with the snapshot. One by one, in droves, netizens pitched in, formulating a theory around a common theme.

After the latest triumph, speculations are rife over Ryan Garcia’s next fight. Talks of a rematch with Devin Haney made it to the news but remain uncertain. The possibility of a fight with fellow light welterweight Teofimo Lopez remains high. Especially considering both boxers enjoy considerable popularity on social media and share a penchant for trash talking, it makes for a good match. Additionally, ‘KingRy’ himself expressed an interest in fighting against welterweight champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. Thus, options are galore for Garcia, who, with the victory over Haney, rediscovered his mojo and has once again become one of the biggest names in boxing today.

What’s your take on the picture? Like the fans and followers, do you also find the former president looking much younger? Please share your views with us in the comments below.
