Ryan Garcia’s Unusual Pre-Fight Rituals Raise Concerns Among Fans
Ryan Garcia’s bizarre behavior leading up to his fight with Devin Haney had fans and critics alike buzzing with speculation. The young boxing star, known for his flashy social media presence, took things to a new level when he welcomed boxing legend Mike Tyson into his locker room at Barclays Center.
In a scene straight out of a movie, Garcia had a string quartet playing classical music as he prepared for the fight, adding an air of sophistication to the typically gritty world of boxing. The Victorville native’s unorthodox approach to his warm-up routine left many scratching their heads, but Garcia seemed unfazed as he focused on the task at hand.
Meanwhile, Haney, the reigning WBC Super Lightweight champion, remained calm and collected as he geared up for the highly anticipated showdown. With a perfect 31-0 record, Haney was seen as the favorite going into the fight, especially after Garcia weighed in three pounds over the limit, making him ineligible to win the title.
Despite the drama surrounding his weight miss, Garcia showed his commitment to the fight by agreeing to pay Haney $1.5 million for each pound he went over the limit. The two fighters, who had faced off six times in the amateurs with a 3-3 record, were finally meeting in the professional ranks for a showdown that promised fireworks.
As the tension mounted and the anticipation reached a fever pitch, fans eagerly awaited the outcome of the Garcia vs. Haney bout. With both fighters at the top of their game and a legendary figure like Mike Tyson in the mix, the stage was set for a night of unforgettable boxing action.
