Is Ryan Garcia’s recent behavior a strategic ruse or a genuine cry for help? Ahead of his impending fight with Devin Haney on April 20, Garcia has been posting bizarre content online—discussing aliens, claiming to know Tupac’s killer, and alleging Satanic rituals. These outlandish claims have raised eyebrows and concerns alike.

Amid this turmoil, heavyweight champion Tyson Fury weighed in. Known not just for his boxing prowess but also for his public mental health battles, Fury offers a unique perspective. Could Garcia’s antics be a mirage, as Fury suggests, cleverly designed to boost pay-per-view sales? Or does the young boxer genuinely need urgent help?

Tyson Fury can’t call Ryan Garcia

Amid swirling controversy and concern over Ryan Garcia’s mental state as he approaches a crucial fight, heavyweight champion Tyson Fury offered his insights during an interview with Fight Hub TV. The discussion touched on the fine line between public perception and personal reality in the sports world, particularly when it comes to mental health.

“You’ve been a great advocate for mental health over the years,” the interviewer began, setting the stage for a thoughtful dialogue. “Just interested to get your thoughts on the Ryan Garcia situation. A lot of people think he maybe doesn’t seem in the right mind frame going to a fight about 10 days away.”

Fury, who has openly navigated his own mental health challenges, responded with a nuanced perspective. “Yeah, I’ve talked about a lot of people before. People’s opinions are what they are. Everyone’s got different opinions than we’ve got. Unless we know Ryan Garcia personally, which I don’t. I can’t call him and say, are you alright mate? Do you need anything? I can’t do that. So I don’t know the guy’s situation,” he explained.

This response highlights the complexity of assessing someone’s mental state from the outside, a situation Fury knows all too well. He then speculated on the potential scenarios at play. “Could be a mirage. Get everyone thinking he’s going crazy, he’s not training, and all that. And then turn up on fire and do a good job,” Fury suggested, hinting at a possible strategy to mislead competitors and fans alike.

It gets people talking!

However, he quickly balanced this by considering the more serious possibility. “Or it really could be having a bad time and he really needs help. But if it is the fact that he’s having trouble, then I’d advise him to speak to someone immediately and get medical advice.”

Fury also acknowledged the inherent entertainment value in such controversies. “And another thing, again, everyone who talks about it generates more views, more pay-per-views, more interest. So boxing is more than punching. It’s so much more,” he stated, pointing out how discussions about a boxer’s mental health can inadvertently boost interest in their fights.

What do you think? Could Ryan Garcia’s unsettling behavior be a clever ploy, or is it a serious call for help that should not be ignored?
