Garcia To Paul: ‘He’s Disrespecting My Sport’

Ryan Garcia is done with the Jake Paul show.

Paul scored another knockout last night (Sat., Mar. 2, 2024) against Ryan Bourland in the first round from San Juan, Puerto Rico (watch highlights).

Minutes after the quick knockout, Garcia hopped on social media to rage about Paul and his impact on the sport of boxing.

“I can’t. I can’t do this sh-t,” Garcia said in a voice message posted on Twitter. “I feel so f—king bad for introducing Jake Paul to boxing. I f—ked up. I can’t allow this to happen. I can’t. I can’t. He’s disrespecting my sport. He’s disrespecting everything. I just don’t know. Call my team, Jake. F—k you.”

Garcia also tweeted, “Okay enough, it’s on I’m going to have to do this! I’m going to end this JAKE PAUL BOXING THING. BRING IT ON JAKE I’M DEAD F—KING SERIOUS F—K YOU! HIT MY TEAM UP.”

During the post-fight press conference, Paul responded to Garcia’s challenge.

“He’s doing some [cocaine]- that boy is getting that sh-t straight from Columbia or something,” Paul said. “Ryan, I love you, you know that, bro. But you gotta chill out, bro. There’s a line, and you seem like you’re losing your mind and acting thirsty, desperate, and saying you’re a billionaire when you’ve had one money fight. I’m just saying chill, bro. If you do wanna fight, to me, that’s light work. You got no footwork, and as long as you’ve been in the game, I’m a better boxer than you.”

So, is Paul vs. Garcia a possibility? Hell no, especially with the size disadvantage between the two. Paul fought at 200 lbs against Bourland, and Garcia is fighting at super Lightweight (140 lbs).

Oh, and Garcia has a huge fight in April against Devin Haney that he needs to be focused on.

Plus, a certain “Rainbow Head” is waiting.
