However, till then … he is able to combat someplace else apart from the ring.
We bumped into 25-year-old Garcia, who was out in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, the place we requested Ryan in regards to the punishment levied by the New York state athletic fee, whether or not he was really retired, and if he was critical about preventing MMA.
On the suspension and million-plus greenback purse clawback, Garcia, who additionally noticed the win stripped and altered to a ‘no contest,’ had this to say.
“It does [hurt]. [Devin’s] a ‘b,’ and his daddy’s a ‘b.’ The one purpose I am not cussing is trigger my daughter’s right here,” Ryan stated of the Haney father and son combo.
Final week, Garcia, 25-1 (w/ 1 NC), introduced he was retiring from boxing. We requested him if he meant to retire for good — which means by no means field once more professionally.
“I am retiring for a 12 months. So they do not get the [satisfaction] for suspending me trigger it is bull. I by no means took steroids in my life. They’ll all suck weiners.”
