Boxing star Ryan Garcia continues to make headlines, this time for a viral video showing him training an unlikely pupil – famous Instagram model Ana Paula Saenz. Despite the ongoing controversies surrounding his positive PED test for the banned substance Ostarine, Garcia appeared in high spirits as he taught Saenz some basic boxing techniques.
The video, which quickly gained traction on social media, captures a wholesome moment between Garcia and Saenz as they hang out at what appears to be a mall. At one point, Garcia decides to turn the outing into an impromptu boxing lesson, guiding Saenz through the motions of throwing punches while he parries them with pads.
Saenz, known for her stunning looks and massive following on Instagram, seemed to embrace the experience wholeheartedly, much to the delight of fans who flooded the comment sections with various reactions. While some praised the entertaining dynamic between the unlikely duo, others couldn’t resist taking playful jabs at Garcia’s recent controversies.
“Ryan keeping busy,” quipped one user, while another added, “My boy trying to smash I see you bro.” A third chimed in with a tongue-in-cheek remark, “That’s a whole lot of Ostarine in there!”
Despite never having won a major title, Ryan Garcia has become one of the most famous active boxers, thanks in part to his aggressive style and swift movements in the ring, as well as his relatable personality that resonates with younger audiences. However, his recent positive PED test and subsequent mockery of the situation have drawn criticism from many fans who feel he is becoming increasingly unhinged.
Garcia’s last bout was a highly anticipated matchup against Devin Haney for the WBC super lightweight title last month. However, after missing weight and rendering the fight a non-title bout, Garcia’s performance was widely criticized as lackadaisical, despite earning a majority decision victory after 12 rounds.
As the 25-year-old boxer continues to navigate the fallout from his PED test controversy, videos like the one with Ana Paula Saenz offer a glimpse into his more light-hearted side, reminding fans of the charisma that initially endeared him to the boxing world.
