Ryan Garcia has always been a huge draw because of his dominance on social networks. However, after the trashing he delivered to Devin Haney on April 20 in New York, everybody wants a shot at the big money fight with him. The same became especially evident today on social media when rising star Richardson Hitchins responded to Garcia’s tweet.

‘The Clinchman’ Hitchins is coming off a controversial unanimous victory over Gustavo Lemos, a fight that had the fans up in arms, calling for an instant rematch. However, Hitchins doesn’t seem bothered about the critics calling his last fight a robbery, as he throws profanity at Ryan Garcia to convince him into the ring!

Ryan Garcia branded “P**sy”

Having embarrassed the former undisputed lightweight champion and the current WBC super lightweight champion in a fight everyone thought he would lose, Garcia hopped on X to make a bold claim. With a hint of arrogance dripping from his words and a whole lot of pride imbued in it, Garcia confidently wrote, “I want to fight again, man.”

It’s been what, nine days since he shocked the world while drinking and partying every day! But Garcia’s confidence seems to have made him impatient. So, seeing the blatant disrespect, the Brooklyn native jumped into action. He promptly responded to Garcia’s tweet with profanity and lust for what could be the biggest fight of his career. ‘The Clinchman’ Hitchins wrote, “Fight me Next P**sy.” However, this callout is unlikely to garner Garcia’s approval, who is on a nationwide tour to celebrate his victory!

Colby Covington, Donald Trump & Coach Prime; Who’s next?

Having proven himself to be the better boxer, Garcia seems to have started a victory tour of the country, linking up with big names. Just the other day, a clip of Garcia alongside Colby Covington surfaced online, where ‘King Ry’ could be seen sharing pointers with the UFC welterweight about Garcia’s iconic left hook! 

Not so long after that, Ryan Garcia hopped on X to share a clip with presidential candidate Donald Trump. While ‘The Flash’ didn’t shadowbox the former president of America, he did showcase his speed through a light session. Then, the Victorville native was spotted in the Colorado Springs game, followed by a wholesome meeting with Coach Prime, a.k.a Deion Sanders, himself. 

With potential fights against Gervonta Davis, Teofimo Lopez and even Shakur Stevenson on the horizon, Ryan Garcia is unlikely to accept Richardson Hitchins’ challenge. However, unlikely things have a way of manifesting themselves in a sport like boxing. So, one can’t completely rule Hitchins out. However, the question is, would you like to watch that fight?
