Up-and-coming boxer Ryan Garcia visited former President Donald Trump on Friday where he shadowboxed in front of him shortly before endorsing the Republican nominee.
Garcia traveled to Mar-a-Lago where he showcased his boxing skills to Trump, who has often attended UFC, boxing, and mixed-martial arts fighting events in the past.
Recently, Garcia defeated Devin Haney by a majority decision victory.
The 25-year-old controversial boxer posted videos of his meeting with Trump which showed him endorsing him for the upcoming November election. Garcia was also seen shadowboxing in the middle of a room at Mar-a-Lago as Trump watched from a distance with a smile.
Others in the hallway began clapping and cheering as Garcia began showing off his boxing abilities. He ends the video by shouting, “Donald Trump 2024!!!”

Garcia also captioned the video “Trump is cool” and right-wing influencers on X, formerly Twitter, soon shared the video across the platform.
For decades, Trump has supported MMA and boxing fights by hosting them and frequently appearing ring-side at UFC fights with Dana White. Moreover, Trump has promoted pro-MAGA fighters such as UFC fighter Colby Covington.
