I drank every day and still beat Devin Haney - Ryan Garcia

Ryan Garcia reflects on his victory over Devin Haney amidst the tumult of his training camp and personal challenges. The unexpected win has stirred up a whirlwind of chaos in the boxing world, a phenomenon Garcia doesn't entirely shun.

Chaos seems to have become somewhat of a companion to Garcia lately, and he doesn't shy away from acknowledging the mixed messages surrounding his recent behavior. Despite admitting to heavy drinking throughout his training camp, Garcia remains defiant, emphasizing his triumph over Haney despite the odds.

"I couldn't care less about what people say about me. I faced the challenges head-on, conquered Haney, and yes, I indulged in drinking every damn day. And still, I emerged victorious," Garcia asserted. "I defied expectations. So what if it's not the ideal path? It's a testament to my resilience. You can't underestimate me. I do what I please, and I still come out on top."

Acknowledging the turmoil in his personal life, including a divorce and other struggles, Garcia opens up about his coping mechanisms. "I've been through a lot lately. Life has thrown me curveballs that shook me to my core. I did what I thought would ease the pain. I drank, I acted out. I'm not proud of it, but it was my way of coping. I only hope my children understand. I hope I've made them proud. But don't look up to me as a role model."

Looking forward, Garcia remains unfazed by what lies ahead. "What's next? I'm indifferent. I always knew I could beat him. My confidence never wavered. Am I content? Absolutely. Who's next? Bring it on. I'm ready for whatever comes my way."
