Boxing star Ryan Garcia is threatening to sue the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) for making him take a mental health examination following the posting of several troubling messages on social media.

Garcia went on to point out that the NYSAC hasn’t required Mike Tyson to take any such evaluation,
“Won’t test Mike Tyson if he fights in New York, but they will test me.”
“Sounds a little fishy to me,” he added. “And I love Mike. Mike loves me.
Many have called for Garcia’s upcoming bout with Devin Haney to be canceled due to the fighter’s social media posts. However, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman has said he will take action if NYSAC attempts to cancel the bout.
“We’re in direct talks with the New York Commission, where the fight is to take place. And, you know, social media is so good and so bad at the same time,” Sulaiman said.
Sulaiman added, “I believe he will be in a position to fight, but we are addressing the situation without a doubt.”
Questions about Garcia’s mental well-being circulated after a video circulated claiming that he had died. Following that post, Garcia claimed he was “raped by a family member when he was two years old, had proof of aliens, and was abducted by members of ‘Bohemian Grove’ and was forced to watch child pornography as part of some ritual.”
Garcia has a professional record of 24-1.
