Concerned fans have come across a series of tweets from Ryan Garcia. From a note of thanks to Andrew Tate, the posts mentioned former United States President Donald Trump. The young boxer called on fans to keep him in their thoughts. The emotional outburst follows his arrest at a Beverly Hills hotel on Saturday. Law enforcement authorities took him into custody on charges of ‘felony vandalism’. Per the information available, Garcia allegedly inflicted damages worth $15,000 at the property.

Reportedly, he secured a release in the night. A marquee performance against Devin Haney saw him stage one of the biggest upsets in recent boxing. But the journey down the road has been one of pitfalls, coming one after another. The 25-year-old has been literally waging war on two fronts. Professionally, he finds himself knee-deep in the doping quagmire. Then, back home, he is coping with the traumatic revelation of his mother’s cancer diagnosis.

Praying for God’s intervention and calling out fans to think of him, Ryan Garcia mentioned a concern. “I have to be at this weird hospital, and they are trying to give me medicine, and they have me on a hold for who knows how long; they will determine,” he said.

After a ‘Free Ryan’ message, he emphasized the power of prayer; the next post was a plea for help. He said, “Prayer warriors Please, I need prayers. A lot of prayers Prayers can move mountains. LORD JESUS SAVE ME.” A minute later, he messaged, “Kinda funny, both Trump and I are in jail. I don’t know if he is in jail, but I know he got convicted. This sucks, but I love Jesus. I will be okay.

Most fans might recall that Ryan Garcia has been one of the most vocal supporters of the 45th President of the United States. His speed drill at the latter’s Mar-a-Lago residence soon after the Haney triumph garnered significant attention. The sequence met with an interruption. ‘KingRy’ took time to thank Andrew Tate. The former kickboxing champion-turned social media personality had tweeted about freeing Ryan Garcia.

The Californian came back later, mentioning how he felt like being Ryan Spears, “Aka Britney Spears.” It seems that after the arrest, Ryan Garcia reported health-related issues. As a result, Beverly Hills police officials took him to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a checkup and necessary medical attention. In a statement, his attorney spoke about his condition.

Then, back in office, his career hangs in the balance on account of his failure to clear doping tests. His primary and secondary samples tested positive for the banned substance ‘Ostarine’. Ryan Garcia insists that he is innocent. His team now pins hope on the Athletic Commission’s lenient stance, as they claim that ‘Ostarine’ might have entered Garcia’s body through ‘supplemental contamination’. If found guilty, ‘KingRy’ could face a suspension of his boxing license.
