Almost two months since news of Ryan Garcia’s positive drugs test and the ever-controversial American continues to be all of the talk in the world of boxing. This time, ‘King Ry’ found himself a new target, as a former super-middleweight champion sparked a brawl with the youngster during the aftermath of Gervonta Davis’ victory over Frank Martin at the weekend.
Davis stopped Martin in the eighth-round of the contest, making a first successful defence of his WBA lightweight title since being upgraded to full champion in late 2023, registering yet another highlight-reel knockout.
In attendance at the Las Vegas fight night was both Ryan Garcia and former IBF 168lb champion, Caleb Plant, who had exchanged intense words on social media regarding Garcia’s failed test the same day, creating an atmosphere that was sure to detonate at any moment.
RG: “Regardless, say what you want, there wasn’t any amount of Ostarine that could’ve helped me beat up Mr Haney. Why does this victory sting so much? I know why because I expose all of you and I love Jesus and he loves me. Can’t you guys leave me alone and go do evil elsewhere? “The day is coming.”
CP: “Then why take it?
RG: “I didn’t b***h, watch your mouth.”
RG: “Caleb knows [that] I don’t give a f**k, we talked face to face at the Haney press conference.”
CP: “Na but I remember you pushing Devin and then running and hiding behind your security like a p***y (we all remember that)… and when I did talk to you face to face the only thing you kept saying was “it’s cool, it’s cool, everything’s cool, relax, relax.”
CP: “No I definitely DONT know that. But I do know you’re p***y who don’t mind running your d**k sucker but when it’s time to get busy you’re nowhere to be found. I don’t have security and I pull up dolo everywhere I go and you hide behind yours.
RG:“Caleb thinks I give a f**k about his soft ass tweets, bro goes around hitting everyone and then expects us to feel bad. I don’t give a f**k about you.
After witnessing Tank’s stellar victory over Martin, Garcia and Plant crossed paths and ‘Sweet Hands’ couldn’t help but initiate a brawl as appeared to throw a beer over his foe but ended up on his back after being pushed down by Garcia’s security, as captured by Fight Hub TV.

Following the incident, Garcia took to social media to claim that the only reason why Caleb Plant is still alive is ‘because God loves him and is merciful’. Despite the hatred, it seems as though Garcia’s next fight will be at welterweight if not super-welterweight, once there is clarity as to whether he will be punished for his failed test result or not.
Meanwhile, Plant has since revealed that he does not drink beer or any kind of alcohol, suggesting that it was a different liquid that was thrown.
