On a day-to-day basis, being mendacious is a common thing. Whether it’s referred to as a bit of a fib or a bald-faced lie, being dishonest occurs daily. But while most can get away with bending the truth, according to Ryan Garcia, the sport of boxing has a way of forcing its participants to operate in reality.

“I feel like it’s the most truthful sport in the world,” said Garcia during an episode of All Access. “You can’t lie. I mean, you can lie but it’s gonna be exposed in the ring.”

This Saturday night, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) will be given the opportunity to prove that he’s been telling the truth this entire time. For a number of years now, the 135/140 pound contender has pontificated over and over again that he’s more than capable of sullying the undefeated record of Gervonta Davis.

In part, Garcia’s confidence stems from his work in the ring. In two fights since his self-imposed ban to address his mental health, Garcia returned to up-and-down results. After somewhat struggling to find his rhythm against Emmanuel Tagoe in April of 2022, Garcia pushed his chips to the middle of the table vs. Javier Fortuna three months later, stopping the faded former champion in the sixth round.

For Garcia, he’s a man of tradition. Essentially following every win, the 24-year-old, before diving into what made him successful on the night, gives praise to his lord and savior Jesus Christ. Deeply devoted to his faith, Garcia has long been hoping to get his hands on Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) to prove to the rest of the world that he’s the better fighter.

Now, with their mega clash nearing, Garcia couldn’t help but look up to the heavens and give thanks to his savior for placing him on the doorstep of arguably the biggest clash of the year.

“Praise the Lord, my moment is here.”
