But for Paul, there’s another battle brewing in the lead-up to his match with Tyson. This one is fueled by fiery social media exchanges and unresolved animosity between Jake Paul and Ryan Garcia.
Not long ago, Jake Paul and Ryan Garcia hopped on FaceTime with each other, where they both talked about knocking out each other. Well, this triggered ‘KingRy’ and he vowed to end Paul’s boxing career. However, Paul thinks that won’t be the case.

In the latest episode of BS with Jake Paul, the crew talked about the Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia fight scheduled to happen on April 20. Especially after the manic episode of Ryan Garcia that involved him posting a bunch of erratic things on his social media that ended up triggering concerns about their fight falling apart. Through that conversation, the discussion switched to Paul’s feud with Garcia, and how it could resolve itself.
Paul responded, “I think it could happen as like a exhibition probably. I think he thinks that he would win and I would love to just like deflate his little 130 Ibs.” Then one of the co-hosts asked if that’s the only way it could happen, as an exhibition fight. Paul agreed and then added, “Yeah maybe we can, maybe Netflix part two. And his footwork sucks, like once I’m learning more about the sport, it’s like he’s fast and quick and been doing it his whole life obviously. But his feet, oh I would tear him apart. You got flat-footed, stuck, stuck, stuck a** fighter.”
Things were already pretty tense between the two of them even before they decided to take it to new heights. But, what worsened it in a true sense was when Jake Paul was slammed by Ryan Garcia after he defeated his previous opponent, Ryan Bourland, earlier this month. Garcia, in a X post, called him a fraud and vowed to end his career in the sport.

Jake Paul, fresh off his victory over Bourland, decided to settle a social media score. Live, in his post-fight press conference, he decided to FaceTime Ryan Garcia. What followed was a heated exchange, a war of words that left a chilling silence in its wake. Garcia started the conversation with a “F**k you.”
This agitated the discussion, and it led to Garcia saying, “I’ll show you my ba**s, b**ch. I bet myba**s [are] bigger than you.” After this, Paul replied, “I wouldn’t be surprised if you put your balls on the internet right now brother, you’re losing it.” Then Garcia decided to hang up, and that was it. Garcia’s cryptic social media posts soon after only added to the unease. Hours later, Garcia posted the infamous cryptic post about him being killed on his social media.
