Undefeated lightweight Ryan Garcia will return to the squared circle on April 22 for a highly anticipated showdown with Gervonta Davis.

With a little over a month to go before the 23-fight winner steps back into the ring, TMZ Sports caught up with Ryan Garcia to get his take on a potential matchup between boxing icon Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather and ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul. Garcia suggested that Mayweather would likely come out on top, but is confident that ‘Money’ won’t be able to finish the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer.

“Floyd’s getting up there in age, but he’ll probably still beat up Jake, but guess what? Jake won’t get knocked out,” Garcia said. “I’ll 100% that. He couldn’t knock out Logan.”

Ryan Garcia Comments on Altercation Between Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul

Earlier this week, Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul made headlines when the two parties had a brief altercation outside of the Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game on Wednesday night. In a video released by TMZ, ‘Money’ appeared to approach Paul with a rather large entourage. Reportedly taking issue with comments Paul made about him previously, ‘The Problem Child’ can be seen running away from the situation after recognizing he was hilariously outnumbered.

“You shouldn’t be running up on a guy with 50 dudes,” Garcia commented. “That ain’t right if you want the truth of that, but it is what it is. I ain’t worried about that. I’m worried about knocking out Gervonta Davis and hopefully, Jakes comes out and shows everybody, ‘I’m with Ryan. Ryan’s gonna knock him out and put him to sleep.’“

Dana White believes the confrontation between Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul earlier this week was nothing more than a stunt.

On Wednesday evening, ‘Money’ rolled up on Jake Paul outside of the Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game. Mayweather and his entourage approached ‘The Problem Child’ and the two parties shared some words before Paul ran away, knowing he was in an unfavorable situation. Paul later used the altercation as an opportunity to call for a fight with Mayweather on Instagram.

Speaking with TMZ Sports, UFC president Dana White shared his thoughts on the incident, believing it was nothing more than a publicity stunt between the two to muster up attention for a potential fight.

Dana White Calls Bullsh*t on Floyd Mayweather/Jake Paul Incident

“I just can’t see Floyd doing that,” White said. “I can’t see Floyd rolling up on somebody and doing that. It’s not Floyd’s style. It’s not really his personality. I thought it was a skit.”

“I’m not buying it,” Dana White continued. When’s the last time you saw Floyd Mayweather act like a thug and roll up on somebody with 50 people? That’s just not what Floyd does. Yeah, I’m not buying it.”

After TMZ released video of the incident, sources associated with Mayweather claimed that they were not lying in wait for Jake Paul outside of the arena, but was upset over comments made by Paul that the boxing icon believes crossed the line. “Jake crossed the line. This wasn’t about grabbing a hat. This was about Jake’s comments to Floyd about Floyd’s deceased family member and other below-the-belt inappropriate behavior,” a source associated with Mayweather said.

Addressing the situation on social media Paul said, “You wanna run it one on one, no problem. But I’m not dumb. Okay? I’m tough, I don’t need to prove my toughness., but I’m not f*cking dumb. I’m not gonna sit there and try to fight 50 dudes.“

Revealing talks have been held between himself and Wilder after a verbal agreement on a fight was struck, Ngannou explained how a potential trip to Africa with the former boxing world champion, as part of a commemoration of The Rumble in the Jungle has been explored to boot.

“Yes we’ve been having some exchanges,” Francis Ngannou told ESPN MMA reporter, Brett Okamoto. “We’ve basically come into some sort of verbal agreement that we want to fight each other. We want two fights. Maybe one of those fights in Africa, maybe two of them in Africa. Which would be massive – which would be great. I think August next year is the 50th anniversary of ‘The Rumble in the Jungle’ and I think that would be an opportunity to do something massive in Africa.”

“We are looking around that timeline for the potential second fight,” Francis Ngannou continued. “Which, in my opinion, should still be in boxing.

Chael Sonnen slams Floyd Mayweather for Jake Paul altercation

Sharing his thoughts on the incident, Sonnen, claimed that the perpertrators were “cowardly” and “disgusting”.

“I watch the video and there’s all sorts of problems with this,” Chael Sonnen said on his YouTube channel. “First off, it is Floyd (Mayweather) and it is people with him. When you start to count them on camera, you come out to about four, but when you hear there was six, there was eight, 20, 50 … It makes it sound like there was more, maybe we didn’t see them, alright. All the rest of the story was true, I guess we should believe that.”

“You come out and this is a crime,” Chael Sonnen explained. “This is disgusting and this is cowardly what they did, but it’s a crime. Now you have one of Floyd’s people filmed the crime. That’s your real story. You’ve got to be a special kind of stupid. He films a crime and they intidimate Jake and the one guy says, “Hey, ya’ll. Should we rough him up?’ That right there becomes illegal. Then the guy answers his own question, ‘Yeah, let’s rough him up.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)
