Ryan Garcia‘s attempt to troll TikTok stars Josh Richards and Bryce Hall has failed miserably. The American boxer, who has a longstanding beef with Hall, tried to rope in Gabi Moura as he shared the exchanged DMs with her. However, it was he who got slammed for his misadventures. What exactly happened?
‘KingRy’ turned to his Instagram handle, as he leaked screenshots of the chats with Moura, Richards’ girlfriend, in one of his stories. The caption read, “@joshrichards @brycehall she’s mine now thank you come again.” Garcia then took to his X handle as he shared the DMs, where it appeared that the Brazilian TikTok star had initiated the conversation. The 25-year-old boxer also wrote in the caption, “Yo Josh Richard’s girl slash Bryce hall bestie girlfriend be in my DMs first tbh.”

As expected, Richards didn’t take a lot of time to hit back at Garcia. The Canadian actor shared a screenshot of Garcia’s story along with the chats from Moura. The screenshots made it clear that the lightweight boxer had first approached Moura. Besides, his caption read, “Nice try.” So, an attempt by Garcia to get back at Hall tanked, and his lies were exposed. But why did the Victorville native do it? What is the beef between Garcia and Hall?

Garcia and Hall’s rivalry stems from the latter’s non-payment of training fees to Henry Garcia. Notably, Hall, along with two other influencers, trained under Henry Garcia for the YouTubers vs. TikTokers boxing event in 2021. But the amount totaling $750,000 never reached the Garcia family’s lynchpin’s bank account. Hall, Taylor Holder, and Nate Wyatt failed to share their 10% payout as a cut as agreed. Eventually, he had to file a suit against Hall in 2023, who has over 24 million followers on TikTok.
Hall and Garcia have even engaged in a social media banter where the social media influencer had even challenged Garcia to an MMA match. Most recently, when a clip of Hall training with UFC star Sean Strickland went viral on the internet, Garcia didn’t shy away from blasting him.

The 25-1 record holder declared, “F**k you, you owe my dad money. [We] have been trying to serve you wassup. Stop dodging [for real].” Garcia had then also shared his chats with Hall, where he had dragged Hall’s ex-girlfriend Addison Rae into the mix. He attempted to do the same this time but failed.
