“Instagram Boxer for Reason”: Ryan Garcia Goes Over the Top at LA Press Conference

After a debatable press conference in New York, Ryan Garcia once again startled the boxing community ahead of his fight against Devin Haney on April 20th. Although several people raised questions about Garcia’s sincerity as he allegedly arrived drunk in New York, ‘KingRy’ took it to the next level this time by entering the LA press conference on a horse.

At this, while many thought Garcia did a commendable job promoting his upcoming fight with his antics, several people did not appreciate the stunt. On the other hand, the boxing world could not help but draw a parallel between Garcia and YouTuber-turned-boxer-turned-promoter, Jake Paul. Well, here is what happened.

Is Ryan Garcia taking inspiration from Jake Paul?

In October 2022, in one of the biggest fights of his career, Jake Paul faced Anderson Silva in the Gila River Arena, Glendale. Ahead of the bout on 20th October, Paul rode a horse to the open workout. Similarly, ahead of his fight against Devin Haney on April 20th, today, Ryan Garcia arrived at the LA press conference riding on a horse, making a spectacle. As expected, after Michael Benson posted the brief clip, several startled fans took to X and reacted to it.

According to one, Ryan Garcia “is trying to get those viral clips“. However, they hoped Garcia’s boxing against Haney would be as “good as his promotion“.

Meanwhile, one said, “Instagram boxer for a reason“.

However, one is of the opinion that “he’s just selling the fight“.

On the other hand, one pointed out that Jake Paul did a similar stunt when he was facing Anderson Silva in 2022.

But, one feared Ryan would lose every round against Haney.

While Garcia arrived on a horse at the LA press conference, Devin Haney was infuriated by Garcia’s antics at the press conference in New York.

Devin Haney wants to have Garcia “punch drunk”

Ahead of the LA press conference, Devin Haney alleged that Ryan Garcia arrived drunk. Speaking to Fight Hub TV, ‘The Dream’ stated he could smell liquor on Garcia’s breath during the conference. Therefore, infuriated by Garcia’s antics, Haney said, “But, you know, hopefully, he can get it together before April 20 and I’m going to have him punch drunk on that day.” In addition to that, he claimed he could KO Garcia in the very first round of their fight.
