Ryan Garcia recently spoke out through a publicist after his arrest on a charge of felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Following his arrest, the boxer was taken to a local hospital for medical care, but no details about his condition were provided. Garcia cited incredible stress and pressure, as well as the devastating news of his mother’s breast cancer diagnosis, as contributing factors to his recent struggles.
In addition to these personal challenges, Garcia is also facing a possible suspension after testing positive for a banned substance around the time of his fight against Devin Haney. His legal team has attributed the positive test to contaminated supplements. Garcia has been open about his mental health struggles in the past, including thoughts of suicide due to depression.
Garcia’s manager emphasized the importance of support and understanding from fans and the public as the boxer navigates his personal challenges. They are focused on providing him with the necessary resources and care for his well-being. The publicist could not provide information about Garcia’s current location or condition.
The Beverly Hills Police Department responded to a call for an intoxicated person at the hotel, where Garcia was identified and caused damage to a guest room and the hallway. Garcia expressed gratitude to his fans for their support during this difficult time.
