When Ryan Garcia was called out by fans for 'acting' during body shot challenge with Addison Rae and Dixie D'Amelio

Ryan Garcia once participated in a body shot challenge with American social media personalities Addison Rae and Dixie D'Amelio.

In September 2020, Garcia teamed up with the two TikTok sensations for his popular body shot challenge, but with a twist: this time, the 25-year-old boxer was the one taking the hits. Positioned against a wall and wearing a body pad, 'KingRy' endured the amateur strikes to his abdomen by Rae and D'Amelio.

However, it was seemingly evident that the former WBC interim lightweight champion pretended to be hurt and asked the influencers to stop the strikes.
