Boxing superstar Ryan Garcia says he’s retiring from boxing at 25 years old … an announcement that should be taken with the biggest grain of salt to ever exist.
King Ryan shared the news in a lengthy social media rant on Wednesday … in which he referenced his current performance-enhancing drug scandal, his mother’s health, a lawsuit from Logan Paul‘s Prime drink company and his divorce from Drea Celina.
Garcia’s claim comes on the heels of his massive win over previously undefeated Devin Haney in April … which is now under review after his samples were popped for ostarine, a banned substance.
While Garcia’s team has maintained he unknowingly took the drug … he could face a fine, suspension or even have his win over Haney stripped from his record altogether.
“Boxing will be alright without me,” 24-1 Garcia said minutes ago on X. “But still sucks I was fun in the game. And it was fun to punch people.”
Garcia said it won’t be the last we see of him, though … explaining he’ll still train and may even dabble in music or acting — but said the sport of boxing is too “corrupt” for his liking.
“The sad part is I’m a great boxer,” he added. “And I entertain and knock people out. I’m sad bc I 💙 boxing. Praying for everyone and I hope everyone has a great life.”
He ended his rant by proclaiming “I’m officially retired” … and hasn’t posted since.
The announcement is being met with a ton of skepticism, as Garcia openly admitted to trolling his social media followers with constant bizarre tweets leading up to the Haney fight.
So … don’t call it just yet.
