Given the bizarre comments Ryan Garcia lately made on social media, people wondered about his well-being. Similarly, the boxing world started to doubt whether or not Garcia would ultimately step inside the ring against Devin Haney on April 20th. However, in his latest interview with Maria Arreghini, Garcia confirmed that he was all prepared to defeat ‘The Dream’. Additionally, he recounted God infusing him with KO power.

Speaking to Arreghani, Garcia spoke about how he would fight in heaven for God. In addition, Garcia revealed that God gave him visions about some of his wins ahead of the fights. Here is what Ryan Garcia revealed with a little more than a month left for the Haney fight.

Finally, God gave me a revelation. I was in the backroom one day. And I was praying to God. And all of a sudden, my hands felt like they were illuminating. They were electric. It was like God spoke to me, ‘You’re going to knock this guy out cold with one punch’,” Ryan Garcia told Maria Arreghini. “And then I started praying for him. I do and then it [knockout] happens,” Garcia, who badmouthed Prime Hydration Drink in an extended rant lately, added.
