Ryan Garcia recently shared a heartfelt moment with his fans, shedding tears as he attempted to express his gratitude on TikTok.
In a video posted to his social media on Monday, Garcia can be seen listening to Hillsong UNITED's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" before emotions overwhelm him.
In the tearful clip, Garcia opens up about the challenges he's been facing, admitting that he's "been going through a lot lately." Despite the struggles, he credits his faith and the unwavering support from his fans for helping him navigate through difficult times.
Expressing his disappointment over recent events, Garcia reveals his anguish over attempts to silence him and even cancel his upcoming megafight with Devin Haney.
"I was trying to do something good, you know?" he says, his voice breaking.
"I love you guys. And I appreciate every one of you guys. And I love all you guys."
"I love you guys. I hope you guys felt the peace I felt right there. I really do. I hope you felt every single part of what I felt, I love you guys. I hope you feel my love. I might cry. I might cry but it's only because of the Holy Spirit and the love that I feel right now. I don't want to cry but I'm going to cry. I love God so much.
Garcia concludes the video by promising to reconnect with his fans soon, signaling his determination to overcome the challenges he faces.
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind for the 25-year-old boxer, particularly on social media. Since announcing his highly anticipated fight with Haney on April 20, Garcia has been active online, sharing a mix of messages and clips on his platforms.
Following a series of unusual posts earlier this month, Garcia declared his intention to focus solely on sports, boxing, and his upcoming fight with Haney. However, his recent emotional video demonstrates his continued engagement with content creation.
Despite any distractions, Bill, Haney's father and trainer, remains confident in Garcia's readiness for the fight. "No matter how many distractions, no matter the antics Ryan has displayed, I know the kid ain't crazy," Bill asserted. "The crazy thing was signing up to fight Devin. We're gonna be ready."
