Ryan Garcia began the year 2021 with a banger and stopped Luke Campbell for the WBC Interim lightweight title in January. He then pitched some massive blockbusters for himself and vowed to remain active throughout the calendar. However, it didn’t go per plan.
‘KingRy’ failed to bag his desired matchups against Gervonta Davis and Manny Pacquiao and also walked out from two of his scheduled bouts. While the entire lightweight division saw some stellar matchups happen, Garcia stayed on the sidelines. He publicly expressed about facing a mental setback during the phase, which affected his boxing ride.
As we are approaching the year end now, Garcia freshly opened on his mental issues and claimed to have thought about ending his life.
