Ryan García: ‘I’m searching for something deeper than boxing’

Ryan Garcia rolls out of bed in the middle of the morning in Los Angeles. He is shirtless, his hair is tousled and he is very sleepy as he logs on for our interview. Garcia, of course, still looks like a multi-million dollar pin-up and, as he smiles and says hello with a lazy wave, it is easy to understand why the 24-year-old has 9.6m followers on Instagram.

His bare chest is covered in tattoos and his voice is husky with sleep as he says, I'm pretty dazed right now. But I'm here."
