Ryan Garcia — also known as “King Ryan” — was seen backstage getting hyped up before the highly anticipated weigh-in on Friday night, with the assistance of undefeated David Benavidez.
TMZ Sports obtained video footage of the professional boxer in Las Vegas, rehearsing some impressive moves with Benavidez’s young son. He showcased his quick jabs and maintained a sharp focus, preparing for the upcoming event.
In the footage, Garcia and Benavidez are captured striking poses in front of a massive Mexican flag, demonstrating their pride and unity.
Garcia is scheduled to face Mario Barrios, also known as the “Aztec Warrior,” in a highly anticipated match at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night, with the WBC World Welterweight title up for grabs. Benavidez’s presence seems to be boosting Garcia’s motivation and determination.

Witnessing a top-tier boxer engage in shadowboxing with a young child while gearing up for a weigh-in is a rare sight. Garcia’s unique approach to drawing energy from mini Benavidez’s enthusiasm is evident as he steps off the scale.
Barrios is aiming for his first victory since June 2024 and his third welterweight title defense. In contrast, Garcia is on the verge of securing his first world championship title if he emerges victorious.
