The Ryan Garcia demons appear to be strange ones, sometimes they are there evidently, other times they hide.
But what is the story with him, he appeared on Jimmy Fallon recently to announce apparently the Conor Benn fight next but then back peddled in interviews not long after to say the fight isn’t even confirmed yet.
Something doesn’t add up and looks shaky when you look at it properly.
For those new to boxing, some context on Ryan Garcia:
- Ryan Garcia has openly discussed his battles with depression and mental health issues.
- He has admitted to having suicidal thoughts during tough times.
- In 2021, he withdrew from a fight to focus on his mental health.

He had an impressive win this year vs Mario Barrios but on fight week he was all over the place, saying he was looking at leaving his promoter Oscar De La Hoya.
Basically saying it was his last fight with him only to strangely seemingly get along with him again briefly after the fight.
Ryan Garcia is always with strange influencers as well who let him punch him often in the US.
Something tells us that is going to end in tears if it keeps up.
Let’s see the official fight announcement for him soon and who it is he fights.
