“I Am Determined to Fight This”: Confirming Breast Cancer Reports, Ryan Garcia’s Mother Pens Heartfelt Note to Fans

The cancer diagnosis was real, after all! While Ryan Garcia is grappling with his positive PED allegations, he dropped some concerning news about his mother, Lisa M Garcia, a few days ago on social media. What happened? Well, the Victorville native had claimed his mother was diagnosed with cancer and didn’t have much time left. 

Asking for fans to pray for his mother, ‘The Flash’ Garcia also wrote on X, “If my mom dies, I’m going with her”. However, aware of Garcia’s antics on social media, many fans refused to believe his claims, something the 25-year-old condemned everyone for! But in a surprising twist of events, Lisa M Garcia has turned to social media, confirming she indeed has breast cancer and will fight the disease like many before her. 

Garcia’s mother is ready for the challenge ahead! 

Acknowledging the reports of her cancer diagnosis, Lisa shared a blank picture with “Yes It’s True” written on it. Meanwhile, in the caption of the post, Lisa wrote, “I want to confirm that the reports you may have heard regarding my diagnosis of breast cancer are true. I am determined to fight this, just as many women before me have done”.

She elaborates on her plan to draw strength from her faith in God, emphasizing the pivotal role her friends and family play as they become, as Lisa eloquently terms them, “pillars” in her journey through this hardship. Thanking all the fans and supporters who wished well for her and her family, Lisa wrote, “Your kindness and support mean the world to us”.

Meanwhile, after Lisa’s post on Instagram, Ryan Garcia revealed his stance about his mother’s diagnosis—he wrote on X, “Breast cancer is stupid”. Lisa Garcia didn’t just play a pivotal role in Garcia’s upbringing, but also stayed in his corner throughout his boxing career, taking care of the various logistics needed for Ryan’s success in the sport. 

The specifics of Lisa’s cancer diagnosis are currently unknown, but more updates are sure to come eventually. While Garcia grapples with his mother’s diagnosis, it’s worth noting that just a few months ago, he was publicly disparaging Devin Haney‘s mother.

Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney’s spat online turns personal

On May 1, VADA had revealed Ryan Garcia tested positive for Ostarine, and the update instantly took over the internet. Fast forward to May 20, a fan tweeted about Haney getting his zero back and Garcia getting suspended. To this, Haney commented, “Lmao”, which rubbed Garcia the wrong way, so he wrote back, “Bruh shut the f**k up before I hit you with another left hook b**ch”.

‘The Dream’ Haney quickly turned it around on Garcia, asking, “The regular one or the Ostarine one?” It was the final straw for Garcia, who saw it fit to attack Haney’s mother, saying, “Your mom fainted when I dropped you”, adding, “I want Devin’s momma” in a later tweet before claiming his account was hacked. 

It’s extremely unfortunate that something such as cancer has befallen Ryan Garcia’s mother. Hopefully, she will make a full recovery as she stays strong throughout the process! What are your thoughts on the statement from Garcia’s mom?
