It seems Ryan Garcia has put his phone down and his gloves on. After a series of strange social media posts, Garcia promised a complete media blackout on anything but boxing. ‘KingRy’ wanted to keep away from all the distractions for his upcoming fight. He acknowledged his past online activity as “intense,” but assures fans he’s laser-focused on his upcoming fight with Devin Haney.

For that reason, Garcia surrounded himself with a winning team, including entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David. With a dedicated camp and a renewed focus, Garcia aimed to silence the doubters on April 20th. As it turns out, just days before the fight, even the WBC President can vouch for the seriousness of Ryan Garcia.

After Garcia’s social media facade, there were concerns that the boxer might not be fit to challenge Haney for the WBC title. So, as a result, the NYC Commission sanctioned a mental assessment before his fight that would keep a check on Garcia’s activities. He was put through another test, the results of which have been confirmed by Mauricio Sulaiman.
