Unhinged Ryan Garcia booted from WBC boxing after racist rant: ‘I’m KKK’

Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Ryan Garcia’s career is in the midst of a free fall.

Just about two months ago, Garcia shocked the world by upsetting Devin Haney (watch here), erasing the champion’s undefeated record and hurting him badly more than once. It was a stunning moment, particularly given Garcia’s erratic public behavior and apparent problems with substance abuse. After the win, Garcia claimed it was all an act to score the role of underdog.

Maybe not.

Shortly after the win, Garcia tested positive for Ostarine, a performance-enhancing drug (PED). After some deliberation, Garcia accepted a one-year suspension, and his career-best victory over Haney was overturned to a “No Contest.” It also cost Garcia over a million in fines and fees.

Now, Garcia finds himself in more trouble. His social media behavior has long been unpredictable, but in the clip above, Garcia can be heard using the N word and identifying with the Ku Klux Klan (H/T NYPost). Because of that rant and other racist remarks online, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman has expelled Garcia from the WBC.

“Exercising my authority as president of the WBC,” Sulaiman wrote on social media. “I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization. We reject any form of discrimination. I fear for Ryan well being as he has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse.”

Afterward, Garcia wrote online that he was just “trolling,” but that didn’t stop him from arguing with random people online and continuing to use slurs.
