Despite their stark size difference, Ryan Garcia asserts his dominance over Logan Paul in their past sparring session. In a recent podcast interview, Garcia expressed his confidence in defeating Paul in a potential fight, claiming that he left an enduring mark during their sparring encounter.
Garcia, a rising boxing star known as ‘King Ry,’ ascended to fame after his impressive victory against Devin Haney, during which he skillfully knocked down his opponent three times. He shared the ring with YouTube sensation Paul in an exhibition match prior to Paul’s publicized fight with Floyd Mayweather in 2021.
Their once-amicable relationship dissolved, prompting Garcia to unleash a barrage of harsh criticisms against Paul, labeling him as ‘The Maverick.’ Garcia remains adamant that he would emerge victorious if they were to face each other in a showdown.
In an interview with the PBD podcast, Garcia criticized Paul’s character and his impact on society, particularly his involvement in the energy drink venture Prime with his former boxing rival KSI. Garcia condemned them as ‘puppets and leeches’ who exploit others for financial gain.
A fight between Garcia and Paul is considered highly improbable, given that they compete in different weight categories. Paul has amassed four fights in the boxing ring with only one victory, his triumph over Dillon Danis in a chaotic clash.
Garcia maintains a close friendship with Paul’s brother Jake and harbors aspirations for a rematch against Haney, who has expressed his eagerness for a second encounter in late 2024. The 25-year-old boxer also seeks retribution against Gervonta Davis, advocating for a shot at a new weight class following his defeat in 2023.
