Ryan Garcia is facing intense backlash following an unhinged Twitter rant where the controversial boxer dropped the n-word repeatedly, mocked George Floyd and made other racist and bigoted comments.
Early in the morning on July 4, Garcia shared a series of bizarre posts, including one alleging he was assaulted by an unnamed Black man. “So a black man raped me and it’s okay and everyone acts like it never happened,” he wrote. Garcia also claimed, “Lil Wayne said I can say the n-word.”
He spewed hateful messages about Mexicans, Muslims, Christians and other groups and ranted about Black people eating babies. He also weighed in on the Israel-Palestine conflict while making disparaging remarks.
Furthermore, Garcia hosted a series of X Spaces conversations, including one titled “George Floyd is a b####.”
At one point during the chat, Garcia stated, “Let’s go bring George Floyd back to life and kill that n##### again.”
During another chat he named, “Christians are gay,” Garcia used the n-word with the hard “r.”
“This is why I said all the Black people who were defending Ryan Garcia have little to no understanding of racial politics. Dude is making a fool out of yall in real time,” one person responded.
During a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, Ryan Garica’s father urged him to get therapy. “I haven’t spoken to Ryan in a long time,” he said. He speaks to his mother more than me. But it’s okay, he’ll call me when he wants to. I would love for him to get some type of therapy when it comes to his drinking. I’m being real. He says he can control it. I hope he can. But if he doesn’t – get that therapy so he can stop.”
However, Garcia insisted he doesn’t drink anymore and said his father “doesn’t know what he is talking about.”
