Ryan Garcia is the name being spoken about the most right now in the world of boxing.
Ever since news emerged that Devin Haney is suing ‘King Ry’, Garcia has been a topic spoken about by many.
It’s a rare occurrence when a boxing sues another boxer.
What’s rarer is that the lawsuit is related to endangering an opponent due to a doping violation.
But that’s exactly what has happened in this instance.
Of course, Eddie Hearn was asked by the Boxing Social YouTube team about the matter as well as a number of other boxing outlets.
Hearn, who is chairman of Matchroom Boxing and the promoter for the likes of Anthony Joshua as well as other boxers, commented on the matter.
In several YouTube videos addressing the matter, Hearn mentions that a lawsuit is probably more effective when just a suspension from the boxing authorities.
Based on Hearn’s calculations, most boxers get suspended for six months and then they’re in camp sooner rather than later.

So a suspension doesn’t hit as hard.
But a lawsuit that costs you millions in your back pocket is a much more effective deterrent for anyone thinking of taking any illegal substances in the eyes of Eddie Hearn.
Of course, these comments have not gone down well with Ryan Garcia.
In a series of tweets this evening, Garcia has a go at a range of individuals.
Boxing journalists and Devin Haney are recipients of a riposte from the California native.
But the harshest words are reserved for Eddie Hearn.
Posting on his Twitter/X account, Ryan Garcia goes in on the British promoter.
“Eddie Hearn is a hypocrite His fighter Benn tested positive for a banned substance and tried to make the fight still happen. My fight no one knew about anything in my system till weeks after my fight. This is some clown s*** by Eddie Hearn.”
In typical Ryan Garcia fashion, he’s vocal and forthright on his social media.
It’s important to note that Garcia has always protested his innocence on the matter and believes that he will cleared in due course.
But it’s certainly clear that he’s not happy with what Eddie Hearn has had to say on the matter.
Just like Garcia, Hearn isn’t exactly a shrinking violet when it comes to speaking his mind.
So we’re sure the promoter will have his say in response soon enough.
