Boxer Ryan Garcia has been making headlines since his win against Devin Haney. The boxer has recently been under fire after testing positive for a banned substance and a felony vandalism charge.
Following his positive test, the New York Commission gave the fighter a one-year suspension and told him to forfeit the $1.2 million fight purse from his promotion. However, Garcia says that he was already going into retirement, so the suspension doesn’t change much for him.
“I’m retiring for a year. So they don’t get the [satisfaction] for suspending me cause it’s bull,” Garcia told TMZ Sports on Sunday. “I never took steroids in my life. They can all suck weiners.”
The 25-year-old’s win over Haney was also overturned and declared a no-contest. An upset Garcia also took a shot at Devin Haney and his father.
“It does [hurt]. [Devin’s] a ‘b’ and his daddy a ‘b’. The only reason I’m not cussing is cause my daughter’s here.”
The boxer spoke about the possibility of fighting in the UFC, although he is still suspended for a year. Garcia will still be held accountable for his suspension, but the fighter is really serious about branching into MMA or Bareknuckle.
“I like ‘Suga’ Sean [O’Malley] cause he defended me ‘[after cheating allegations]. But, if he really wants to run it in the UFC, I’ll do it. Or bare knuckle. S**t, I’m ready to fight anyone at this point.”
