“You Animal You Belong in the Zoo”: Ryan Garcia Slams ESPN for Allowing Tim Bradley’s “Biased” Attack on Him

Ryan Garcia is fuming in rage. The American boxer doesn’t want a piece of what Tim Bradley threw at him on a talk show. After Bradley had sounded him off for running in circles with Devin Haney, Garcia hit back with a scathing reply. He is “more hurt” with the whole saga.

Bradley, a former two-time world champion doubling up as an analyst for ESPN, had labeled ‘KingRy’ as a “clown.” He then also announced how the boxer belonged in a “zoo.” “He has no idea of what is going on with him,” said Bradley as he shed light on Garcia and his failed negotiations for his next fight with ‘Rolly’ Romero. It seems these comments didn’t sit well with Garcia, who didn’t shy away from sharing his hot take on Bradley.

Ryan Garcia pours anger at Tim Bradley and ESPN

The 25-year-old boxer turned to his Instagram handle and posted a series of stories, blasting Bradley. “Just bc he is one of the most biased commentators in the game and decided to go on air and call me a clown,” he wrote in one. Following this, Garcia asked Bradley to “sort it out,” otherwise the former world champion would be the “clown.”

The 24-1 record holder then tried to put fans in his shoes. He expressed, “Imagine me going on air and tellinng this to Tim Bradely. Hey you animal you belong in the zoo. CLOWN. IMAGINE. That’s messed up. I’m really confused. How can @espnringside let this slide. I would never say that. I’m more hurt about that you let this slide.”

Garcia and Bradley don’t share a good dynamic, as the latter has criticized him multiple times. Bradley has called Garcia quitter for dropping a fight with Gervonta Davis. He has also been skeptical of Garcia’s skills, as he doesn’t believe Garcia can defeat the top boxers in the 140-pound division. Meanwhile, Garcia is hotly pursuing a title fight next and is back on the table with ‘The Dream’.

‘KingRy’ back on the negotiation table with Devin Haney

The California native recently admitted he was chalking out details of a fight with his childhood rival, Devin Haney. Notably, he had called Haney after redeeming himself with a KO win against Oscar Duarte. However, because of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. effect, he diverted his attention to Rolly Romero.

But Romero used the hype generated to book a fight with Isaac Cruz instead, snubbing Garcia. With other champions at 140 pounds either not interested or top guns not available, Garcia returned to Haney. It remains to be seen whether Garcia and Haney can finally decide on the details.
