Ryan Garcia and Claressa Shields are at war. The two boxers were going at X and unleashed some verbal jibes. But things took a nasty turn when ‘GWOAT’ shared some messages that ‘KingRy’ dropped in her DMS. What’s more? The latter owned up to his deed and accepted that it was “all” him. What happened exactly?

Garcia, 25, and Shields, 29, have been at loggerheads since she favored Devin Haney as the two childhood rivals tussled over the ostarine saga. The American boxer has openly opened fire on Garcia, as she blasted him for cheating. But she expected it the least when Garcia sent her derogatory messages, which she shared on her X handle. Garcia, at 24-1, went on a rampage and insulted Shields, as he wrote, “I’m saying you said my mom don’t got cancer crack head. Are you f*king an idiot. Dumb a*s crack head read b*tch. Screenshot b*tch.”

After the 14-0 record holder shared the shocking conversation on X, Garcia candidly responded to her claim and accepted, “That’s all me.”

After Garcia labeled Shields as “anti-humans” and slandered her, the latter penned a lengthy note, calling out the Victorville native. The light middleweight champion pointed out that Garcia was using the platform to mislead people. She penned, “Man @RyanGarcia you are a piece of sh*t! You use your platform to lie and mislead the people. It’s sad.”

The undisputed champion added, “And now that your roller coaster is going down you are pointing the finger at everyone else! Go look in the mirror! You are the problem! You are The reason. Stop using God to make excuses for you being a terrible person! The jig is up! GO GET HELP!!”

Notably, Shields has also floated the idea of a man-vs.-woman boxing match against Garcia to settle their beef once and for all. However, it might not materialize anytime soon because Garcia has to serve a year-long ban after NYSAC slapped him with a year ban, along with a fine and a forfeit of the guaranteed purse.
