Due to his inconsistent conduct on and off the internet, boxing’s rising star Ryan Garcia has been the subject of criticism in recent weeks. Garcia’s actions have drawn the attention of both fans and pundits as his much awaited battle against Devin Haney approaches.
The incident started when Garcia vented his frustrations on social media, sharing cryptic remarks that alluded to his personal problems and discontent with his work on X and Instagram. He expressed concern to his followers in a tweet that read, “I’m going through some things mentally and y’all just don’t understand.”
During a public spat, Garcia and another fighter Jake Paul got into a heated argument that escalated further. The two even got into a physical altercation. The fight, which was caught on camera and extensively disseminated online, increased conjecture regarding Garcia’s mental health and preparedness for his next fight.
Garcia appeared to lose focus on his boxing career amid the confusion, which made many wonder if he was ready for his matchup with Haney. With a history of enmity between the two combatants and stellar records, the stakes for their impending encounter are higher than ever.
Garcia is determined to prove his doubters wrong and win the bout, even in the face of distractions, and he has remained confident in his skills. He just uploaded a training montage to Instagram along with the statement, “I’m ready to silence the doubters and show the world what I’m made of.”
Many of Ryan Garcia’s admirers are rather alarmed by a recent social media posts, in which he included an eerie video along with a mysterious message. Garcia looked upset on the video, saying that he felt like “the devil’s got [him]” and that someone had “slit [his] throat.”
Ryan Garcia provided further information about his predicament in his video answer to the alarming message he had earlier shared. He said that his phone had been stolen and that he was unable to access any of his personal apps. The additional layer of complication illuminated the difficulties he was encountering, as he conveyed his annoyance at not being able to reach his customary channels of support and contact. In addition, Garcia shared his concerns that he was being targeted for incrimination and possible jail time. This realisation made his situation seem much more urgent and serious.
But there are still questions over Garcia’s psychological and emotional condition before the battle, with some theorising that the young boxer may be suffering from the weight of expectation. In order to win and restore his reputation as one of boxing’s biggest names, Garcia will need to focus and maintain discipline because Haney is waiting and ready to take advantage of any weakness.
