Ryan Garcia Publicly Thanks Gervonta Davis For Support During PED Controversy

Ryan Garcia took to social media today to thank his former opponent, Gervonta 'Tank' Davis, for his support regarding the PED issues surrounding his last fight against Devin Haney on April 20th.

Undefeated lightweight champion Tank Davis defended Ryan (25-1, 20 KOs) yesterday on X in response to the results of his B sample that reportedly contained the banned PED Ostarine.

Since then, Ryan's legal team said they will have a hair follicle test, which came back negative for Ostarine. The New York Athletic Commission, which will be deciding on Ryan's case this summer, will have to contribute to the new test results.

Tank Davis Defends Ryan Garcia's Integrity

“Shout out to Gervonta Davis. Bro, really, brother. NO F***** CAP,” Ryan Garcia told X, responding to Tank Davis' support, saying, “He didn't cheat.“

Tank Davis shows true loyalty to Ryan by standing up for him on social media and protecting him from the foxes. Davis' support moved Ryan emotionally.

If Ryan is cleared, there will be BIG money to be made in the fights between him and Gervonta Davis and the rematch between Devin Haney and Errol Spence. The number of big fights available to Ryan is unreal.

That is why the New York State Commission should decide the case of the star as soon as possible.

Hearn's Standing: No-Contest and Non-Contest

“As expected, he found out that he had a B sample. Now he has to talk to the New York Commission, they will clarify his future,” said Eddie Hearn, Devin Haney's promoter, who spoke to Boxing News about Ryan Garcia.

“You can't just say, 'Don't worry, guys. I sent the hair to one of my scientists, who said everything was fine.' That's something that could be presented at trial, and the New York Athletic Commission is an honorable commission, and they're going to deal with it the right way.”

Hearn still seems a little salty after what Ryan did to his fighter, Haney, last April, but he has to deal with it. Ryan has won the battle, and if the New York State Athletic Commission clears him, he will be at the top of the sport.

It must be difficult for Hearn, who is fighting Haney, who is going nowhere and will likely lose his next fight if he defends his WBC light welterweight title, which he arguably should not have again after losing to Ryan.

“One thing we can't deny now, which is true, is that when he beat Devin Haney, he had energy-enhancing drugs in his system,” said Hearn. Therefore the war should not have happened. It happened, and this is the problem with testing in general. More importantly, the competition should not be accepted.

“He [Ryan] he was over 3 1/2 pounds, and he had PEDs in his body,” Hearn continued about Ryan Garcia. “100% no contest. It was in his plan, but to be withdrawn, you just never know.”
