Ryan Garcia doesn’t seem to be having a great time. On 23 May, his B-sample doping test results came out, following his A-sample testing positive for performance-enhancing drug ostarine. And guess what? ‘King Ry’ Garcia tested positive for the same substance again! However, that isn’t the end of his worries! On the same day, Prime Hydration, co-owned by Logan Paul, revealed they had filed a lawsuit against the 25-year-old boxer. Why?

Well, the feud between Ryan Garcia and Logan Paul goes way back—before Garcia fought Devin Haney last month, commencing his doom. Once on good terms with Paul, Garcia had started making defamatory comments about Prime Hydration, suggesting the drink was bad for kids and comes with health risks. So, in their lawsuit, Prime Hydration accuses Garcia of spreading lies about the drink and Paul himself. They also alleged that Garcia has a history of attacking high-profile individuals, sullying their reputation. However, ‘The Maverick’ Paul might just have given Garcia a simple way out of the lawsuit. What’s that?

Logan Paul is ready to battle it out with Ryan Garcia

Even amid legal challenges, Ryan Garcia persisted in airing derogatory remarks about Paul. Notably, he shared a screenshot supposedly depicting text exchanges with Logan Paul, in which Logan allegedly made insensitive remarks about the tragic events in Gaza. Despite Logan clarifying the falsity of these texts, he deemed it necessary to address the issue in a video shared on Instagram.

Addressing the text message, Paul said, “I don’t even know what you are talking about. You don’t have my number, I don’t have your number and yet you continue to lie. This is why we are suing you for defamation.” However, things took an intriguing turn when Logan unveiled a specific law, particular to Texas and Washington, which could potentially pave the way for a showdown between the two, whether it be in the boxing ring or elsewhere.

Logan said, “The lawsuit we are filing is in Texas, so there’s a mutual combat law if you are feeling some type of way—you wanna duke it out.” And soon afterward, Logan even went live on the platform and tried to have a conversation with the 25-year-old, but when Ryan Garcia refused, Paul branded the boxer a “pathetic weasel.”

While all this was going down on social media, Conor McGregor’s training partner rebuked Logan Paul for mocking Garcia’s positive test results. 

Former foe comes back to haunt Logan Paul

After the update on Ryan Garcia’s B-sample result hit the internet, Logan Paul seemingly had memes ready to go. Turning to his Instagram account, the YouTube star shared an exaggerated image of Garcia’s physique, poking fun at his ostarine use while branding Garcia the king of the substance. 

While Garcia hasn’t directly commented on Logan’s meme, someone else took shots at Logan Paul. Well, it’s none other than Dillon Danis. The duo went toe-to-toe last year in one of the most disappointing fights in the history of boxing. Nevertheless, seeing Paul’s meme, Danis wrote on X, “It’s so ironic because Logan Paul is on every ster**d in the book.”

As Ryan Garcia and his legal team gear up to battle on multiple fronts, Ryan Garcia could just take the fight against Logan Paul to save himself from the lawsuit mess. However, what’s in store for Garcia is yet to be seen, as the entire community has turned on the Victorville native. Do you think Garcia should fight Logan? Let us know in the comments.
