Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney are set for their mega-fight on April 20, their seventh time inside a ring. Haney and Garcia first fought as amateurs when they were 10 years old and had six fights. Furthermore, the last time they fought was when they were 16, and the result of their six fights was 3-3. Hence, their upcoming fight will be a tiebreaker for their intense rivalry, which started when they were amateur boxers.
While the upcoming fight is significant for both fighters, many people are concerned about Garcia’s preparations. In addition, Haney recently claimed that Ryan Garcia does cocaine on their social media back and forth. Garcia appeared to respond to this in an interview cheekily:
Amazing, bro. Looking good. Trainning good. I'm laughing because I'm high as f**k.Ryan Garcia via FightHype
The allegation of Garcia’s drug use initially emerged because of another interview, and Haney accused Garcia of using cocaine. The allegations were not confirmed because they were based on Garcia’s voice and tiredness, which could have been from training. However, now Garcia has sarcastically admitted to being high during a recent interview.
Furthermore, when the interviewer asked Garcia what he planned to do next, he announced his intent to fight Sean O’Malley. Subsequently, Garcia mentioned that he could not be defeated by a guy with rainbow-colored hair. In addition, Garcia recently wrote a message to Dana White on social media to set up the fight.
Fans react to Ryan Garcia being high
While Haney has remained undefeated in his career, Garcia has already suffered his first loss. Hence, many people feel that if Garcia does not take the fight seriously, he will lose yet again. Furthermore, Garcia has extended this notion by being in the public eye instead of training for the fight.
Subsequently, Garcia has now started to be associated with drug and alcohol use. However, in a recent interview, Garcia himself admitted that he was high and was laughing because of that. Fans reacted to this by stating, “Oscar De La Hoya officially got them.”
Fans remarked about how Garcia has been sounding and acting differently, which points to his alleged drug use. Furthermore, fans stated that Garcia would lose at this rate and Haney would emerge victorious. Subsequently, fans jokingly mentioned that Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, had influenced his boxer to do drugs.
