Professional boxer Ryan Garcia has stated that he is open to facing Jake Paul in an MMA fight, on the condition that Logan Paul withdraws his defamation lawsuit against him beforehand.
In 2024, Ryan Garcia has been involved in a series of back-and-forth exchanges with both Jake and Logan Paul. Although Garcia’s feud with Jake was later revealed to be staged for publicity, his relationship with Logan remains strained.
On May 23, Logan initiated a legal action for defamation against Garcia, citing the latter’s remarks on Twitter/X about Prime Hydration. According to Logan, the comments have resulted in significant loss of sales for the company, amounting to millions.
During a conversation with the paparazzi on June 22, Garcia expressed his willingness to face Jake Paul in an MMA fight, on the condition that Logan withdraws his lawsuit against him.
The Daily Stardust shared a video on YouTube featuring their conversation with Garcia, in which they asked the former champion about the potential fight with Jake Paul.
The question was posed to Ryan, asking if he would still engage in a fight with Jake Paul if he was in a vulnerable state. This prompted Ryan to take a moment to consider his answer.
He responded that if Logan were to drop the lawsuit, the outcome would remain unchanged.
The topic begins at 1:24 in the video.
The Daily Stardust inquired with Garcia about his potential fight against Jake, following a discussion with the boxer regarding his recent steroid-positive drug test and subsequent one-year suspension from the sport.
“I have decided to take a year off,”he stated. “I refuse to give them the satisfaction of suspending me, as it is unfounded. I have never used steroids in my entire life.”
Additionally, Garcia expressed his willingness to fight Sean O’Malley in the UFC if the offer was presented to him.
“He expressed his readiness to take on any opponent at this time.”
As of writing, Jake has yet to respond to Garcia’s interest. However, the influencer turned boxer has a busy schedule for 2024, including a fight on July 20th and a Netflix bout with Mike Tyson in November.
