It seems like KSI found another pound to grind against Ryan Garcia. For certain, the English YouTuber has never been a fan of the boxing superstar. Early in May, he even went on a full blast against Garcia. The rant followed news of ‘KingRy’ failing to clear drug tests after scoring a thumping victory over Devin Haney. But if only that was the only problem troubling the young Californian. The last few months saw Ryan Garcia go on a furious rant against Logan Paul and KSI’s Prime Hydration. He contested that the energy drink is ‘unhealthy’ along with a few more cutting remarks.

Finally, tired of his fusillade, a few days ago Paul filed a defamation suit against ‘KingRy’. Thus, the latter found himself facing a dual conundrum. His B sample also failed to clear him of doping charges. Now, adding a twist to the plot, a fresh development finds Ryan Garcia making amends with the Prime team! Why? Probably the idea is to tackle one problem at a time. Anyhow, the attempt only gave KSI another reason to lampoon the boxing superstar.

Tagging a feed from @ksinews_, KSI’s X//Twitter handle operated by Team KSI messaged, “Haha pu**io.” Featuring a clip showing Ryan Garcia in an interview with YouTuber Ana Paula Saenz, the tweet from the former read, “Ryan Garcia apologizes to Logan Paul after the lawsuit and even drinks Prime on the podcast.

So the Morelia, Mexico-born social media influencer asked Garcia whether he had anything to say about Prime and Logan Paul. “I just want to say I’m sorry,” began ‘KingRy’.” He continued, “I just feel bad for the fight that we’re going through because I’ve known the family for years, bro. This sh*t’s breaking my heart. I don’t want to fight with you no more, bro.

Then, taking a sip from a Prime bottle, he revealed that he didn’t have any problem with the energy drink. But he might have had some issues with the WWE star, though. “That’s just bomb as f**k, bro. I love you, bro. I’m done with this fighting sh*t,” Garcia concluded. The former interim lightweight champion must have surprised quite a few fans with the latest about-turn. After all, on Instagram Live, he famously claimed, “Anyone who drinks Prime is working for Satan.” Hopefully, the step should now leave him dealing with only one problem.

Ryan Garcia and the Unfinished Battle

Days after he trounced Devin Haney at New York’s Barclays Center, Ryan Garcia found himself in a fresh controversy. Several reports revealed that samples of the young boxer taken before as well as on the day of the fight returned positive results for the banned substance ‘Ostarine’. But the former interim lightweight titleholder contested the findings. Claiming innocence, he placed a request for his secondary samples (B sample) to be tested. Unfortunately, as it appears, luck seems to have deserted him.

The test results of the B sample also returned positive for the banned substance. An independent test done on Garcia’s hair sample came back negative, per what his team claimed. The case now rests with the New State Athletic Commission for review. The attempt from Team Garcia would reportedly be to assert that the banned substance entered the young boxer’s body through contamination. So if they succeed in proving it, then ‘KingRy’ could be in for some relief. However, a failure might invite measures such as a ban on his boxing license. Fines might be applicable as well.
