The controversy around Ryan Garcia's positive performance-enhancing drug test is growing intense with boxing and other combat sports stars reacting to the matter. While the super middleweight undisputed boxing champion, Canelo Alvarez, has been the only superstar to stand by Garcia, fighters like Conor Mcgregor and Jake Paul are furious with the 25-year-old American boxer. Recently, Jake had a heated FaceTime call with Garcia and a video of the same has gone viral on social media.
After defeating Devin Haney on April 20 at the Barclays Center, Ryan Garcia tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance ostarine, which garnered reactions from the world of combat sports. During the fight against Haney, Ryan Garcia knocked him down three times including a dominant first-round, and won the bout in Round 2 by a majority decision.
On Thursday night, Jake Paul was involved in a heated altercation on a FaceTime call and the other person on the call seemed to be Ryan Garcia. During a podcast, Jake FaceTimed Garcia, and the two involved in a heated exchange, hurling abuses at each other. In the video, Paul can be heard saying, "F*ck you b*tch! I’ll beat your ass and you know that. Imma put you back on the canvas like Tank did." On the other hand, Garcia kept denying the use of PEDs in the fight against Devin Haney.

Later, another video went viral, where Jake and Ryan again went back and forth with each other on a video call. This time the 25-year-old boxer was clearly visible in the video as Paul said, "If you did do it (doping), then that’s really f*cked up bro and I’m going to be pissed off. That’s f*cked up."

Jake Paul is scheduled to fight legendary Mike Tyson in a boxing match that will be aired on Netflix on July 20 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. After Tyson changed the exhibition fight to a professional fight, which means the result would be added to both boxers' professional records, Jake Paul announced "It’s war now."
