- Ryan Garcia launched into an x-rated outburst at Eddie Hearn on social media
- 26-year-old accused Hearn of turning his back on Devin Haney after their fight
Ryan Garcia has taken aim at Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn in an extended rant on social media.
Amidst significant turmoil in his personal life Garcia produced the performance of his career against WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney in April, knocking his opponent down three times en route to a majority decision win.
However, the belt had not been on the line after Garcia missed weight, and the decision would ultimately be overturned after it was revealed that he had failed a doping test.
The impressive performance followed by the dramatic circumstances that followed marked the culmination of a bizarre few months for the 26-year-old, after he had sparked concern with a series of alarming posts on social media.
Speaking live earlier this week Garcia launched into a expletive-ridden tirade, claiming Hearn had accused him of ‘looking crazy’ before the fight began.

‘Eddie Hearn’s dumba** was like, “Ryan was looking crazy in the ring before the fight.”‘ Garcia said on X.
‘Motherf*****, I was not you could watch the fight, you stupid, dumb f***. I was literally normal, bro.
‘I don’t know what they’re making up. It’s f***** crazy. I was f****** normal ready to fight.
‘If I was that f***** up in the ring, where I was looking everywhere, all f****** spaced out, how was I able to land a f****** perfect counter left hook in front of his jaw?’
Garcia then continued his rant, claiming Hearn had turned his back on Haney following the fight.
‘Your fighter didn’t fight good bro, and he wasn’t even your fighter at the time.’ He added.
‘You’re just d***riding Devin Haney, and then when he got beat, you turn your back on him.
‘You’re a f****** fake, phony. F*** you Eddie Hearn, f*** you. I hope somebody’s recording in this.
‘F*** you, Eddie Hearn, for trying to make this narrative like I was f****** cracked out before the fight. You’re just an idiot.’
Haney publicly clashed with Hearn during Anthony Joshua’s IBF title clash with Daniel Dubois at Wembley.
The 25-year-old claimed on social media that Hearn had denied him tickets to the record-breaking showdown but later arrived at the event and was filmed engaging in a heated discussion with the promoter at ringside.
