Teddy Atlas raises red flags on Ryan Garcia's mental health prior to Devin Haney showdown

Amid mounting uncertainty regarding Ryan Garcia's preparation for his upcoming bout against Devin Haney, additional concern arises as 'KingRy' is seldom seen at the gym. Instead, he frequently shares social media posts showcasing training sessions in hotel rooms and parking lots.

During a recent episode of his podcast, THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas, the renowned boxing trainer expressed doubt about Garcia's readiness for the match and raised concerns about his current mental condition:

"He is hitting pads, and even then, his muscle tones did not look good. He did not look like he was in shape. It was in the midst of all this craziness if the New York Athletic Commission, which I called for a month ago on this air, did not have him evaluated by some of their doctors, and I mean on a psychiatrist level—not just physical."
