They enjoy lavish lifestyles, driving astonishing supercars, and date stunning girlfriends.
The U.S. Sun takes you inside their lives – starting off with their rides.
CARS
Davis is said to be worth $6million, so it’s no wonder he boasts an amazing array of cars in his garage.
His prized motor is a customized USSV Rhino GX believed to be worth $330,000.
Inside the seven-seater, there’s a massive built-in TV, complete with Apple CarPlay so passengers can watch Apple TV and stream iTunes on the sound system.
A $330,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan, a $81,000 Corvette Stingray, and a Lamborghini Urus SUV starting at $235,000 are also part of his car collection.
While the Baltimore native, nicknamed Tank, has also been seen behind the wheel of a Ferrari 458, worth around $280,000, and a Range Rover.
In comparison, Garcia – whose fortune is believed to be $12million – has an equally impressive fleet.
Like his foe, KingRy has a Lamborghini Urus, as well as a $270,000 Ferrari 488 GTB and $81,000 Porsche 718 Boxster.
He’s also the proud owner of a $118,000 Audi RS 7, which features a 4.0-liter Twin-Turbo V8 and reaches 60 mph in a hair-raising 3.5 seconds.
It’s worth noting they both fly in private jets.

LOVE LIFE
Davis is married to Instagram influencer and model Vanessa Posso.
With over 720,000 followers on the social media platform, she has a huge audience.
Brands including Fashion Nova have put that to use, hiring Davis to share paid partnerships wearing their clothing.
Posso also has a jewelry company called RichGirlz, that has been “specializing in body chains and sterling silver jewelry since 2010.”
They have a daughter together called Giovanna Thalia.
Garcia’s love life is a bit more complicated.
He previously dated Catherine Gamez, who comes from a wealthy family in Colombia.
They welcomed a daughter called Rylie in 2019, but split soon after.
Garcia then shacked up with Instagram model Drea Celina.

She, too, fell pregnant with his child – giving birth to his second daughter, Bela in 2020.
However, they were rocked by scandal when she was seven weeks away from her due date, after Garcia was caught kissing TikTok star Malu Trevejo on camera.
Celina took to Instagram and labeled her beau, “a piece of s**t.”
She also claimed he didn’t see his first daughter.
Garcia issued an apology – insisting the pair were working on their relationship. It is unclear if they are together or not.
HOME FIT FOR A KING
Last year, TMZ reported that Californian Garcia dropped a cool $3million on a place in southern California.
The home is in Porter Ranch about 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles.
The house has five bedrooms and six bathrooms and is spread over 3,680 square feet.
The location in the mountains provides stunning views over the city.
And there is an outdoor pool and fireplace to enjoy the California weather from.

Realtor Brandon Soufer posted a photo of Garcia with a huge framed photo of him wearing a crown and WBC belt.
He added: “Congratulations to my brother @kingryan for purchasing his first home with me.
“I am honored to have had the opportunity to be a part of this big step in your life.
“Cheers to many more accomplishments together for us to celebrate. Love you my brother.”
BODY ART
Another pastime, aside from collecting outrageously expensive cars, the two share is a love of tattoos.
Garcia’s upper torso is now dominated by a number of striking tattoos.
He started to increase his body art in early 2021 and now boasts over 10 tattoos around his shoulders and chest alone.
He has two lions on either side of his chest, reportedly to signify strength and point toward his “KingRy” nickname.
There are also the words “Shock the World” inked on the back of his shoulder, while on his right arm is a cross.
Garcia was baptized in January 2021 and takes his faith seriously.
He explained: “The cross [tattoo signifies] the strength, the power in my right hand.

“Don’t underestimate the left one either, as it too has got that power.”
A dove on his right shoulder is said to signify “the holy spirit that guides me,” while there’s also a laurel wreath around his neck.
Davis is covered head-to-toe in tatts.
He now has more than 20 separate pieces, including a gorilla’s face on his chest, a tat that reads “Blessed” on his neck and a pair of boxing gloves on his bicep.
Davis also sports a “hidden” tattoo on the underside of his right forearm, which depicts the Playboy bunny.
And the tattoos are not just restricted to his upper body, with Davis sporting a women’s portrait on his lower leg and a bizarre tribute to Michael Jackson’s Thriller on his right thigh.
JEWELRY
Where Davis has Garcia beaten is in the jewelry department.
Although the younger boxer has a $42,000 Rolex Day-Date Oyster Perpetual in 18 ct yellow gold with a champagne-color dial and a diamond-gold necklace with his nickname on, it’s the former who is dripping in expensive jewels.
Davis is often decked out in diamond-encrusted necklaces, expensive watches and chunky rings.
His collection runs into the millions of dollars – but in 2019, Davis suffered a break-in where over $6million worth of bling was taken.
The robbery occurred just hours after Davis boasted about a gold chain and timepiece on Instagram.
He begged for their safe return, writing: “Yo somebody broke into my house here in Cali and stole my jewelry [sic]…If somebody try to sell it let me know!”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require greater strength than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are also many combinations. These are combinations of punches that work together to achieve a specific goal. An entire combination could have several parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
A boxer must use his legs to defend against kicks. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. You can deliver an elbow strike directly or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. He can then gain distance from his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. His stance will determine how he defends. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. There are many stances available to boxers. These are the most popular:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
