Ryan Garcia traveled to Saudi Arabia for this weekend’s undisputed heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. During a conversation with DAZN, Garcia discusses the shadowy cloud hanging over his victory over Devin Haney, his desire to fight Errol Spence again, and his predictions for a heavyweight fight. Check it out!
Garcia on how he feels about all the controversy surrounding his victory over Devin Haney
“I’m doing great. I’m elated. Justice will prevail, so I don’t worry about anything. God supports me.
“After May 22 there should of course be a result for the B sample, but I don’t think it will come out neat because obviously if they found it in A, why wouldn’t they find it in B? I think it’s all bullshit if we know it. I mean, no one takes steroids the day before and the day after a fight. You’d really have to be stupid.
On insisting on fighting Errol Spence
“I need this. I’m going to cut his head off… You know, Terence Crawford did a good job, but I’m going to finish the job as if he had no intention of boxing anymore after fighting me.
“From the bottom of my heart, I want to meet him as my coach.”
About his predictions for the Fury vs Usyk match
“It will be a 12-round decision, it will be a very close fight, but I think Fury is just too good and I love Fury. Fury has this energy, he looks great. Usyk, a hell of a fighter, but no. Fury is that man, I think he’s the greatest heavyweight of all time.
“I love Muhammad Ali, but I think Tyson Fury is the greatest heavyweight of all time. But shout out to Muhammad Ali.”
