Video - Ryan Garcia chugs a beer while weighing in for his fight with Devin Haney

Ryan Garcia is not acting like someone who is hours away from the biggest fight of their boxing career.

On Saturday, April 20, ‘King Ryan’ returns to the ring in what should have been his first shot at becoming an undisputed world champion. However, Garcia weighed in more than three pounds over the 140-pound limit for his clash with WBC super lightweight titleholder Devin Haney. As a result, Garcia will not be eligible to win the belt.

Nor does he seem to give a sh*t. That much was evident after the former interim champ weighed in while chugging a beer on Friday.

Garcia will also fork over 1.5 million dollars to Haney after coming in overweight.

In the months leading up to his showdown with Haney, Ryan Garcia has exhibited some downright disturbing behavior. Despite all of the craziness, which included claims from Garcia that he was forced to watch the sexual assault of children, Golden Boy Promotions and the New York State Athletic Commission have allowed the fight to proceed as scheduled — a decision that many pundits have and continue to criticize.

Ryan Garcia massively misses weight ahead of Devin Haney fight, ineligible to win WBC title

Ryan Garcia is no longer eligible to win the WBC Super Lightweight World Championship on Saturday night.

Stepping on the scale during Friday’s weigh-in, ‘King Ryan’ weighed in at 143.2 pounds, well over the 140-pound limit for his Brooklyn-based headliner with reigning titleholder Devin Haney.

However, the fight will move forward as scheduled, but Garcia cannot win the belt.

Throughout fight week, Haney repeatedly noted that Garcia looked heavy and suggested that his opponent would not make weight. On Thursday at a pre-fight press event, Garcia made a bet with Haney, stating that he would pay the champ $500,000 per pound if he didn’t hit the mark.

“[Let’s bet] $500,000,” Garcia said, “$500,000.”

“Okay, that’s a bet,” Devin’s trainer and father Bill Haney replied. “If you don’t make weight, it’s $500,000.” 

“It’s a bet,” Garcia responded.

Devin Haney then upped the ante, “$500,000 per pound [over the agreed weight]. Hey, Ryan. Let’s do $500,000 per pound. You wanna shake on it?”

According to longtime boxing reporter Dan Rafael on X, a financial agreement was reached to move ahead with the bout and Garcia will honor his handshake deal with Haney, forking over $1.5 million as a result of the massive weight miss.

The build-up to Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney has been littered with controversy

It’s just another bizarre moment in a build-up that has been riddled with crazy conspiracy theories, claims of drug abuse, club hopping, and marriage proposals to Aussie porn stars — and that’s just on Ryan Garcia’s side of things.

Earlier this week, Garcia and Haney got into a physical confrontation atop the Empire State Building in NYC which resulted in the duo being pulled from throwing out the first pitch at the Mets-Pirates game at Citi Field that same day.

Ryan Garcia questions who would win in a hypothetical 'coked out' fight versus Jon Jones

Ryan Garcia is mere hours away from a 12-round title fight with Devin Haney — and yet that seems to be the furthest thing from his mind.

Returning to the ring on Saturday, April 20, ‘The Flash’ will look to claim the WBC super lightweight championship when he steps inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney

Unfortunately, in the weeks leading up to their highly anticipated scrap, Garcia has come completely unhinged on social media.

It all seemingly began with a post in March that had many, including Garcia’s ex-wife, legitimately concerned about whether or not he was still alive. Shortly after revealing that he was still alive, Garcia engaged in a bizarre interview with Andrew Tate which prompted the Nevada State Athletic Commission to request a mental health examination.

Continuing the trend, Garcia posed a question to his fans on social media that is sure to turn some heads.

“Ok hypothetically, hear me out,” Garcia wrote on X. “Jon Jones vs Ryan Garcia. We are both coked out. WHO WINS????”

Jon Jones is certainly no stranger to partying with a little white stuff, but we’re assuming ‘Bones’ is a little too busy dealing with his latest legal debacle to get cranked up and have a slap fight with ‘King Ryan.’

Ryan Garcia booted from NY Mets games during fight week

Earlier this week, Garcia was booted from a New York Mets game where he was scheduled to throw out the first pitch.

Both Garcia and his opponent, Devin Haney were in attendance and set to participate in the festivities ahead of the Mets-Pirates game on Tuesday night at Citi Field. However, stadium officials decided to pull the plug at the last minute, prompting Garcia to post yet another rant on social media.

‘’Yo guys, the Mets just wasted three hours of our life,” Garcia shouted on social media. “To say at the end, ‘You can’t throw the pitch,’ for whatever reason. There was no reason, and they kicked us out for no reason. I’m personally gonna say f*ck the Mets. Don’t ever go to a f*cking Mets game again, f*ck the Mets.’’

According to Chris Mannix, a senior writer for Sports Illustrated, the Mets were afraid that having both Garcia and Haney together would result in a repeat of their viral altercation atop the Empire State Building.

“Bizarre scene tonight at Citi Field in New York, where Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia were scheduled to throw out the first pitch of Mets-Pirates,” Mannix wrote on X. “Mets officials pulled the plug on it after the fighters arrived, I’m told by sources with direct knowledge, because they didn’t want to risk an incident on the field. Haney and Garcia, who will face off Saturday at Barclays Center, scuffled at the Empire State Building earlier today.”

KSI calls for Ryan Garcia to be pulled from Devin Haney fight: ‘It’s sad watching him have a mental breakdown’

KSI on Ryan Garcia "mental breakdown"

KSI, real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, has called for Ryan Garcia to be pulled from his upcoming boxing match with Devin Haney following the former interim WBC lightweight champion’s “mental breakdown” in recent weeks.

Garcia has been the subject of multiple headlines, many of them stemming from his increasingly erratic behavior that has fighters, fans, and those close to him genuinely concerned for his well-being. Social media star and part-time boxer KSI suggested that Garcia needs to seek help and should be removed from his title tilt with Haney for the time being.

“Cancel the Ryan Garcia fight and actually get him some help,” KSI wrote on X. “It’s sad watching him have a mental breakdown publicly like this.”

Unfortunately, the chances of Garcia vs. Haney being canceled, or even postponed seem unlikely. However, it does appear that ‘The Flash’ is attempting to refocus on his April 20 boxing match rather than some of the more disturbing content he’s been putting out into the world as of late.

“I Ryan Garcia, will not be speaking or tweeting or writing anything other then My Fight “Boxing” and Sports. All topics of discussion will be discussed after my fight,” Garcia wrote on social media. “5 weeks of focus. You have my word I’m locked in I’ll see you 4-20.”

He followed that up with another post, writing: “As I’ve stated I will only be talking about boxing, let’s see who’s really listening! Ask me any “Boxing” QUESTION? On plane back to go train with Derrick in Dallas. So why not do a Q&A of Boxing and Sports!”

Sean O’Malley Comments on Ryan Garcia’s Downward Spiral

Ryan Garcia’s downward spiral seemingly began with a confusing post that referenced his own death and Satan. He attempted to explain himself in a video two days later but provided little answers. From there, he engaged in a deranged conversation with controversial combat sports figure Andrew Tate, claiming that someone had tied him up in the woods and forced him to watch illegal acts being perpetrated on children.

His meltdown continued online where he spammed his X account with posts about aliens, Bohemian Grove, and peace in the Middle East.

On Wednesday, UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley attributed Garcia’s behavior to a substance abuse problem telling reporters, “Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.”

Sean O'Malley on Ryan Garcia

Closing in on his first UFC bantamweight title defense this Saturday, March 8, Sean O’Malley offered his take on the bizarre behavior exhibited by boxing star Ryan Garcia.

During a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Garcia claimed that he would “destroy” O’Malley inside the Octagon, sparking a back-and-forth between the two. It was certainly nothing out of the ordinary for two of combat sports’ biggest stars, but in the subsequent days, Garcia’s antics became increasingly confusing and downright concerning. It all started with an incomprehensible post on social media referencing his own death followed by a video explanation that posed more questions than it provided answers.

Since then, Garcia has gone completely off the rails, claiming in a conversation with Andrew Tate that someone had tied him up and forced him to watch the sexual assault of children. He also claims to have evidence that aliens exist and that Bohemian Grove is real.

Asked about Garcia’s downward spiral during the UFC 299 media day, Sean O’Malley placed the blame squarely on drug abuse but showed genuine concern for the former interim WBC lightweight champion.

“Cocaine’s a hell of a drug. I think he’s on drugs and he’s acting a fool,” O’Malley told reporters on Wednesday. “Feel bad for him more than anything.”

As for whether or not a crossover clash between the two will ever come to fruition, ‘Sugar’ doesn’t see it happening, but made it clear that he is not the one standing in the way of that.

“That will never happen, and if it does I’m here for it,” O’Malley added. “It wouldn’t be my fault that fight doesn’t happen, but yeah. Realistically that will never happen.”

Garcia is currently scheduled to face Devin Haney for the WBC super lightweight world championship on April 20.

As for O’Malley, the 135-pound champ will put his title on the line against the only man to hand him a loss inside the Octagon, Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera. The two are set to headline UFC 299 inside the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida with a lightweight bout between Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint-Denis going down in the co-main event.

The downfall of boxing star Ryan Garcia continues to get more disturbing with each passing day.

Garcia’s erratic behavior over the last several days has caused concern among fight fans and those close to him. The former interim WBC lightweight champion first made a disturbing post on social media, referencing his own violent death and stating that Satan was “on top.” He attempted to clear the air in a follow-up post two days later, but only posed more questions as he claimed that someone was attempting to have him jailed and that he did not have access to his phone or money.

In the time since, it appears as though Garcia has gone completely off the rails, as evidenced in a recent conversation he had with another controversial figure in the combat sports community, Andrew Tate.

“I don’t give a f*ck, bro,” Garcia said while speaking with Tate. “They held me down and made me watch little kids get raped. I don’t give a f*ck anymore! They f*cking took me to the f*cking woods and they… I’m not f*cking joke, bro. I have f*cking proof. I don’t give a f*ck. I’ll show you every f*cking video you could ever believe. Bohemian Grove is real. They f*cking tied me down and made me f*cking watch. I actually don’t give a f*ck anymore. Yes, I’ve f*cking lost it. They’re raping little kids.

“You know the higher elites. You already know who they are. I don’t give a f*ck. They can’t touch me. I’m a god. They can’t. Come touch me you f*cking b*tch.”

For those unfamiliar, Bohemian Grove is a restricted 2,700-acre plot of land in California belonging to a private gentlemen’s club known as the Bohemian Club. In mid-July each year, Bohemian Grove hosts a more than two-week encampment of some of the most prominent men in the world.

“I don’t give a f*ck, bro,” Garcia added. “They raped me, right? I was two years old and they raped me. I have proof of that too. That’s where it all started.”

Ryan Garcia Floods his feed with confusing posts

Garcia has since littered his social media feed with a slew of posts doubling down on the statements he made in his interaction with Tate.

“I feel like crying bc I’m giving everyone info they already know but they refuse to believe,” Garcia wrote on X. “Do you want proof now I’ll get it asap!!!!”

“They held me down and made me watch of course I’ve lost it a little. They really begged me to join and I said F*CK YOU,” he added in a follow-up post.

“Are you guys the crazy ones!!! Cause I’m not lying they are hurting kids!!! And everyone is standing back telling me to shut up I DONT CARE ANYMORE,” the posts continued. “I’ll die for innocent souls taken if you aren’t on my side you are on the devils side.”

“Are the people going to get behind me or let them kill me that’s the real question???? Let Ryan Die or Help me,” Garcia continued, writing one final plea for help.

Ryan Garcia is currently scheduled to face reigning and defending WBC super lightweight world champion Devin Haney at a boxing event in Brooklyn, NY on April 20, though it’s hard to imagine that the fight will move forward as ‘The Flash’ is clearing suffering from a psychotic episode or some sort of drug-induced hallucination. Either way, our thoughts are with Garcia and we hope the 25-year-old star gets the help he clearly needs.
