Ryan Garcia Criticised For Posting New Sparring Footage Ahead Of Devin Haney Fight

Ryan Garcia has come under fire once more in the build-up to his fight with Devin Haney on April 20th as he has released more sparring footage ahead of the contest.

Garcia has done plenty of things to actively try and win up his opponent in the build-up to this world title fight at the Barclays Centre.

He has said Haney fights only for belts and not legacy, has mocked his religion, has released sparring footage of Haney and Gervonta Davis together, and has also done plenty of other rather bizarre things that have led to plenty of speculation about his mental health.

However, on hearing that people are concerned for him, he has threatened to sue the New York Commission should they try and get a professional assessment of his mental state.

Now in a new but since-deleted post on X, Garcia shared more private sparring footage of Haney, which is always a big no-no for fighters.

The responses have reflected that as On The Record Boxing posted their own retort.

“Posting sparring footage is the weakest thing you can do.”

Amero Money backed that up.

“Come on fam. Smh. Keep that inside the gym. Probably gonna see u like that this month honestly”

Right now the fight – which is not the first meeting between the two – is on and will see Garcia challenge for a world title as he steps up in a big PPV fight for the second time having lost out by knockout to a crippling body shot landed by Davis back in April of last year.
