Davis also implied that Garcia has been using mental health as an excuse to get out of fights.
“You never heard any back in the day fighter talk about mental health…we need mental health to come in the ring and fight…I feel as though people use mental health just to get out of stuff”

Garcia responded to Davis’ accusations, and the two got into a heated war of words online.
“We all have mental health” First off all you can’t even conjure up a clear sentence. I’ve boxed my whole life fought over 200 times I’d break a long time ago if it was that I was fearful to fight. You simply have never done your research and simply have low IQ. https://t.co/3XaZGD9rTL
