Ryan Garcia has reacted to a viral video of Eddie Hearn claiming the fighter needs help in a recent interview, and he’s not happy.
Ryan Garcia and Eddie Hearn have not seen eye to eye since Garcia tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs against Devin Haney in April.
This tainted the fighter’s win over Haney, but it was already under scrutiny after Garcia weighed in three pounds heavy and had behaved erratically on social media.
Since that fight, Hearn has been very critical of the American and recently made his thoughts known about the fighter’s mental state in a viral interview.

Eddie Hearn claims Ryan Garcia ‘needs help real bad’
Since Garcia’s fight against Haney, the American’s antics and behavior have got worse and worse.
Hearn was asked about his thoughts on the fighter’s recent social media posts in a recent interview and surprised everyone with his response.
He told Fight Hub TV: “I saw some stuff tonight, I can’t believe what I’m seeing. What the f*** is he doing? Honestly, something bad is going to happen if somebody doesn’t get hold of Ryan Garcia.
“You may play these clips back when something bad happens, it’s just a car crash. He just needs help. He needs help real bad, I hope he can get it.”

The viral video didn’t go down well with Garcia and he quickly took to X to respond in typical fashion.
The fighter hit back and explained that he thought Hearn was a ‘hypocrite’ after the promoter defended Conor Benn for his failed drug tests but slated him.
Garcia is now set for a spell on the sidelines after being handed a one-year suspension for his failed drug tests.
The fighter though maintains his innocence and has made appearances at boxing shows and on reality TV programmes.
