Ryan Garcia has been in discussions since the New York press conference for the Devin Haney fight. Provided the comments the 25-year-old lately made, several figures wondered if Garcia was mentally fit. However, Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins confirmed that Garcia was fine and ready to take on ‘The Dream’. Yet, the NY Commission wanted to evaluate Garcia’s mental health ahead of the fight on April 20th.

On that note, Garcia took to social media and threatened to sue the NY Commission over his right to freedom of speech and defamation of character. Meanwhile, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman informed that they were in touch with the NY Commission about Garcia’s behavior on social media.

Ryan Garcia to sue NY Commission over constitutional right and defamation

Taking to social media, Ryan Garcia reported that the New York State Athletic Commission ordered him to a mental health evaluation ahead of the Devin Haney fight, highlighting Garcia’s latest tweets and posts. However, Garcia feels the ordered procedure would curb his constitutional right to free speech. Likewise, he said, “So, because I’m tweeting what I’m tweeting that’s premises for mental evaluation. That’s curious. You tryna mess with my constitutional right.”

“Now, I’m gonna sue you for defamation of character actually,” he added. In this context, highlighting that New York legalized the cultivation of cannabis and offered Tyson 2.0 a market, ‘KingRy’ said, “They won’t test Mike Tyson if he fought in New York but they would test me. My own therapist told me I should be smoking weed. And they’re stopping me from smoking weed. that should be against the law.”
