Ryan Garcia is knee-deep in a messy lawsuit with Logan Paul, but that’s not stopping him from eyeing a potential slugfest with Logan’s brother, Jake Paul. Drama, boxing, and family ties—what’s not to love about this chaos?
The 26-year-old boxing star recently spilled his guts about the Paul brothers, and it’s a tale of bromance gone sour. Garcia used to vibe with Jake, but things took a nosedive with Logan after some heated words about Logan’s Prime Energy drink empire. Apparently, Garcia’s crusade to spotlight sex trafficking didn’t sit well with Logan, who clapped back by calling him “crazy.” That sparked a wildfire, and now they’re duking it out in court over defamation.
“I really don’t have an issue with Jake,” Garcia dished to Ring Champs. “I have an issue with Logan. I didn’t like at the time he was saying I’m crazy, I’m this, I’m that when I was talking about sex trafficking and trying to raise awareness on it. I kind of wilded out on him and that’s where our beef started. I said f*ck you, I don’t like drinking your drink — I’m not going to say it right now because obviously I’m sued — and then that’s where that animosity started.” Shots fired, legal papers served—classic Ryan.
From Courtroom to the Ring?
Even with Logan’s lawsuit hanging over him, Garcia’s keeping it chill with Jake. No bad blood there, he insists, despite the family feud vibes. And when it comes to stepping into the ring with Jake? Oh, he’s all in. Garcia’s already got a dance card with Rolly Romero in May, and a win might tee up a rematch with Devin Haney. But a Jake Paul fight? That’s the kind of payday that makes your eyes pop out like cartoon dollar signs.
“Why not?” Garcia said about fighting Paul. “Of course [I’d give up weight]. There’s value in the fight. We’re going to make a bunch of money. He obviously thinks he’s going to win but again this is what I see that he’s not as good as he thinks he is in his head.” Confidence or cockiness? You decide, but Garcia’s ready to bet on himself, even if he’d be the smaller guy in the ring.
Jake’s last outing was that Netflix spectacle against Mike Tyson—an eight-round decision watched by over 100 million people. Sure, he “beat” a 58-year-old legend, but Garcia wasn’t impressed. “Five rounds, four rounds because of his weight maybe?” Garcia mused. “But he didn’t even do anything to Mike Tyson and Mike Tyson’s 60 [years old] wobbling on his own self.” Ouch, Ryan’s throwing shade harder than a solar eclipse.
For Garcia, a Jake Paul fight is all about the Benjamins—business, baby. He’s not losing sleep over any personal beef. “I don’t really have beef with Jake, even to this day,” Garcia said. “He might have beef with me.” So, while he’s dodging legal punches from Logan, Garcia’s keeping the door wide open for a blockbuster with Jake. This guy’s living the drama we all secretly crave—lawsuits one day, fight hype the next. Stay tuned, fam!
