Halloween celebrations have always been highly anticipated and the boxing world is no stranger to this. Many celebrities pose on their social networks to show off their best costume and one that generated many comments and doubts was Ryan Garcia, who apparently, is living a good time in his life and had the time to celebrate this iconic date.
Ryan Garcia seemed to be in limbo and uncertain about what his future would hold. After his defeat against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, the boxer had been somewhat absent, however, life is starting to smile on him, as he was able to celebrate Halloween and also received good news in the legal field.
Ryan Garcia must explain his much-talked-about Halloween costume
The 27-year-old boxer, who has kept a low profile since May, reappeared to share his Halloween look. Posing alongside a striking black Lamborghini Urus, Garcia was seen in camouflage attire, carrying a prop bandolier and sporting dark paint under his eyes. The scene, described by many as inspired by drug dealer movies, quickly generated controversy on social media.
Garcia’s post, which carried the message “we’re moving, got to stay stealthy”, quickly became a topic of debate. In several images, the boxer was seen holding a cigarette, which set off alarm bells due to his previous public problems with alcohol.
Aware of the controversy surrounding his personal life, Garcia felt compelled to step in on his own post to stop any speculation: “By the way, I don’t smoke cigarettes, it was for the costume,” he clarified.
Ryan Garcia resolves his legal problems
Putting the Halloween celebrations aside, the former WBC interim champion received some important news, where his former rival, Devin Haney, officially withdrew the civil lawsuit against him. This turn of events has freed Garcia from a heavy off-field burden, allowing him to focus on other issues.
Haney’s lawsuit, filed after the controversial 2024 fight, which was overturned after banned substances were detected in Garcia’s system, included allegations of assault, fraud and breach of contract. However, Haney explained to the media that his motivation was never legal retribution, but sporting.
“I am a fighter; I want to get it back in the ring. I want to get it back with blood,” Haney said, underlining his desire to settle the rivalry through boxing. This decision, while costing Haney money and opportunities, gives Garcia a clear path to focus on his training and negotiating his next fight.
In this way, Garcia is “free” of a problem that could bring more consequences and now he can not only celebrate Halloween, but also think about his future and return to the ring.
