Ryan Garcia’s Mental Struggle: Sean Strickland Points Finger at Early Boxing Days
The boxing world was left in shock as Ryan Garcia, the rising star of the sport, found himself at the center of a storm of controversy. In a series of social media posts, Garcia laid bare his inner turmoil, revealing a side of himself that many had never seen before. As the boxing community scrambled to make sense of his erratic behavior, one man stepped forward to offer his own explanation: Sean Strickland.
In a scathing rebuke, Strickland, a former UFC champion, took aim at Garcia’s recent antics, questioning the toll that boxing has taken on the young fighter’s mental health. With emotions running high, Strickland minced no words, asserting that Garcia’s early introduction to the sport had left him with irreversible brain damage. It was a damning indictment that sent shockwaves through the boxing world.
But Strickland’s assessment didn’t come without its detractors. Sean O’Malley, another prominent figure in the fighting community, offered a contrasting view, attributing Garcia’s behavior to the perils of fame and fortune at a young age. However, Strickland remained steadfast in his belief, pointing to Garcia’s long history in the ring as evidence of the damage inflicted upon him.

Garcia pledged not to write about anything other than boxing and his fights on X. “5 weeks of focus. You have my word I’m locked in I’ll see you 4-20,” concluded ‘KingRy’.
