Ryan Garcia Says He'll KO Errol Spence Jr. After Diss for PED Test From Haney Fight

Ryan Garcia could be facing a suspension if his B-sample comes back positive, but that isn't stopping him from trying to book a fight against Errol Spence Jr. after the Truth previously dissed him.

Responding to a fan on X, Spence said he would "legit beat (Garcia's) ass," but he doesn't take tune-up fights.

This led to Garcia firing off a series of posts in which he said he authorized his lawyers to send Spence an offer for a fight, notified Golden Boy Promotions of the bout and sent a mock-up poster teasing an Aug. 10 date at AT&T Stadium.

The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association notified the camps for Garcia and Devin Haney that the Flash tested positive for ostarine in a urine sample collected before their Aug. 20 bout.

In a letter issued on Monday that was obtained by ESPN's Mike Coppinger, Garcia requested his B-sample be analyzed.

Darin Chavez, Garcia's attorney, told Coppinger the B-sample will be analyzed on May 22. He also said his client returned negative tests "17 days before" the positive sample was collected.

Garcia has denied any wrongdoing, saying he's "never taken a steroid. ... I don't even know where to get steroids. ... I barely take supplements."

Coppinger noted if Garcia's B-sample returns positive, his camp will need to "present an argument" to the New York State Athletic Commission proving his innocence.

The potential discipline for Garcia if he's found guilty will include a suspension, fine and his win over Haney will be overturned to a no-contest.

Based on Garcia's issues making weight to fight Haney as a super lightweight, a bout with Spence would presumably be easier for him. Spence has fought as a 147-pound welterweight for his entire professional career.

Garcia was already within the 147-pound maximum for welterweight when he stepped on the scales leading up to the Haney fight.

AT&T Stadium will already be set up for boxing with Jake Paul and Mike Tyson set to hold their showdown in that building on July 20. It seems unlikely to happen given everything going on with Garcia right now, but stranger things have happened in the boxing world.

Spence hasn't fought since suffering his first career loss against Terence Crawford on July 29. There were rumblings about a rematch between the two stars, but Crawford is instead expected to move up to junior middleweight to challenge WBA champion Israil Madrimov on Aug. 3.
