Hopefully, Ryan Garcia is no longer callous to the situation he is in after his racist and anti-Muslim statements on social media ignited unavoidable repercussions. Besides being expelled by the WBC, the boxer’s views have been strongly condemned by Golden Boy Promotions he is signed with. On that note, he has finally decided to attend rehab. However, before Garcia began, the 25-year-old spent time with his little kids.
Hostile to Garcia’s disturbing remarks including “f*** Muslims” and “f*** ni****s,” Mauricio Sulaiman, exercising his authority as the WBC president, announced he “was expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization.” Along these lines, he mourned the fact that Garcia had earlier declined the WBC’s attempts to help the boxer cope with “mental health and substance abuse.” On the other hand, fearing the public’s distrust of Garcia would stigmatize his promotions, the CEO of GBP, Oscar De La Hoya announced his company accommodated neither “hate” nor “intolerance.”
So, taking responsibility for his words and expressing his apologies on X, Garcia wrote, “I am going to rehab btw.” But before, he took to Instagram and shared a wholesome video of himself cuddling his adorable kids. He captioned the post with several blue-heart emojis.

Ryan Garcia questions WBC’s decision; involves Mike Tyson, Tim Bradley Jr. and Devin Haney
Although Garcia is apologetic to the Muslim community and claims to respect “every race,” the boxer was unable to comprehend expulsion from the WBC completely. So, he questioned the WBC, claiming that exclusive of himself “so many other people have said racist remarks” and were yet exempted from expulsion. “The problem is Devin has said racist things and so has Tim Bradley and NADA. You [WBC] do nothing,” he complained. And although he loved Mike Tyson, Garcia wondered why the WBC had remained deaf to Tyson’s comments directed at Lennox Lewis and a white-skinned fight writer.

In one of his tweets, Garcia pointed out how Tyson once threatened to devour Lennox Lewis’ children in addition to abusing a white fight writer. While one may find Garcia’s argument devoid of logic, the boxer also pointed out, “In the hood everyone has said the N word.” Looks like although Garcia is going to rehab, the boxer has yet to completely understand how serious the situation he is in is.
