Ryan Garcia’s 2024 was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions. Everything was going well when he overcame Devin Haney by unanimous decision in April of this year, but only a few months had to pass for the New York State Athletic Commission to overturn the victory because Garcia tested positive for ostarine, and was also given a one-year ban from competing
It is important to remember that the young boxer did not take the title to his waist, as Ryan was 3.2 pounds overweight and the championship stipulation was annulled.
Without a doubt, the expectations for him were very high, but he ended up being the disappointment of the year. Many fans are confident that he will return in his best form, while others prefer not to get their hopes up
Mike Tyson does not forget Ryan
The 58-year-old former boxer was a guest on the Fox Sports Radio podcast “Covino & Rich”, where he was asked about the new generation of boxers such as Gervonta Davis, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia and the comparisons with their idols, where Mike praised them all: “We can’t overlook those guys. Those guys are tough guys,” he said
When asked about his favorite, the former world champion did not hesitate and said: “They are all sensational. I think Ryan and Devin should fight again. That was a good fight, it was good,” he said
Many long for another fight between Ryan and Devin, but both have already taken their rivalry outside the ring to the courts, so it is very unlikely that it will happen again

In this case, Ryan Garcia, through his lawyer, accuses Devin and his father of harassment, seeking that both pay for the economic losses that Garcia has suffered as a result of the lawsuit. We’ll see if they return this lawsuit from the courts with lawyers to the ring during 2025.
