Ever since Ryan Garcia signed the deal with Devin Haney for a fight on April 20th, ‘KingRy’ made several questionable statements on social media, leaving the boxing world concerned. On that note, Canelo Alvarez has now revealed what he felt about Garcia’s mental health. Speaking to FightHype, Alvarez sympathized with ‘KingRy’.

In addition to hoping Garcia would remain focused, Canelo hoped ‘KingRy’ would receive the help he needs. On the other hand, despite Garcia’s latest antics such as smoking live on Instagram and riding a horse at the press conference, Canelo believed ‘KingRy’ could bear down Devin Haney.

“My mind going says, ‘Help Ryan.’ He’s a good kid. He’s a good person. You need to help him. And the people around him need to help him,” said Canelo Alvarez.  “So, I feel a little sad for him. He need to have a good person, good people around him. His goal is [to] take it easy, slow down, and then we see,” Alvarez added.
