Fight Still On Despite NYSC Request

The pre-fight narrative for the showdown between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia on April 20th in Brooklyn, NY, has taken a strange twist that’s unusual to the sport of boxing.

Ryan Garcia has found himself under the scrutiny of the New York State Commission (NYSC). A request for a mental health evaluation stems from Garcia’s erratic social media posts, including a bizarre claim of wanting to bite Haney’s ears. 

Garcia responded to the request with threats of a lawsuit against the NYSC, leaving some to speculate that the fight may be called off.

However, Garcia assures fans that the fight is still on. His recent activities, including a video of him drinking wine and defiant statements against the commission’s requests, have fueled speculation about his readiness and mental state. Yet, Garcia remains adamant about stepping into the ring, dismissing any talk of cancellation and emphasizing his preparation and passion for the bout.
