The 'From the Screen To the Ring To the Pen To the King' meme originated from the viral buildup to the Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney boxing match in 2024. Garcia, often criticized as a 'social media boxer,' used this rhythmic catchphrase to describe his transition from internet fame (the screen) to professional pugilism (the ring) and his eventual status as a global icon (the king). The internet quickly adopted the phrase as a template to mock or celebrate drastic career shifts and personal transformations. It is frequently used to highlight someone's evolution through distinct, often exaggerated stages of success, ranging from humble beginnings to absolute dominance.
