April 17th, 2024

The upcoming lightweight fight between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney just got a whole lot stranger (and perhaps more buzz-worthy) thanks to a series of bizarre social media posts from Garcia. The already highly anticipated "Garcia Haney fight" has reached a fever pitch after a promotional video shoot for the bout turned physical.

The chaos unfolded atop New York's iconic Empire State Building, where cameras captured Haney shoving Garcia. Garcia's response? An accusation that Haney committed a "hate crime" Things took an even sharper turn when Garcia declared, "I identify as a woman" and went on to claim that Haney's shove constituted an assault on a female.

Devin touched me without my consent im suing him for putting his hands on me

And I Identify as a woman

So he touched me as a Grown man and hit a Grown woman

And I’m lgbtq+

So now it’s a hate crime

Nah this is SO FUCKED UP 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Garcia's social media rampage continued, adding "And I am LGBTQ+" before concluding with, "Now it's a hate crime. No, this is so f***ed up..."

This outburst has left fans and pundits alike scratching their heads. Garcia, known for his flamboyant personality, has exhibited increasingly erratic behavior in recent weeks, posting a string of nonsensical messages online. Whether this is a genuine expression of gender identity or a publicity stunt remains to be seen.
