Disgraced Boxer Ryan Garcia Faces Career-Ending Backlash for Racist Comments

Disgraced boxer Ryan Garcia is facing severe backlash after making racist comments during a Twitter Spaces conversation in early July. The boxer reportedly expressed hateful sentiments, including saying he hates Black people and is anti-Black. He even went as far as suggesting bringing George Floyd back to life just to kill him again.

Following the outrage over his remarks, Garcia was expelled by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and faced criticism from the boxing community and fans. In an attempt to do damage control, Garcia issued an apology on social media, attributing his behavior to trauma and substance abuse.

However, his apology was met with skepticism and criticism on social media, with many users calling out his excuses and demanding genuine accountability. Even boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya condemned Garcia’s words and emphasized that there is no place for hate or intolerance in his company.

This is not the first time Garcia has faced controversy, as he previously tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and received a year-long suspension. Concerns about his mental health have also been raised in the past, with Garcia attributing erratic behavior to promotion tactics.

Despite his attempts to explain and apologize for his actions, Garcia’s future in boxing remains uncertain as he grapples with the consequences of his problematic behavior.
