Even when faced with extraordinary adversity, Ryan Garcia isn’t slowing down his social media shenanigans. What did the Victorville native do this time?

See, the thing is, after defeating Devin Haney last month, Garcia contemplated moving up in weight to potentially fight ‘The Truth.’ Later, his trainer Derrick James filed a lawsuit against Spence for unpaid dues, which Garcia seems to have taken personally! Since then, the duo have also exchanged words of derogation on X. Now, Ryan Garcia seems to have taken things to the next level by roping in Spence’s girlfriend. However, Shakur Stevenson isn’t having any of it as he promptly jumped in to expose Garcia’s lies.

After an especially spicy exchange on X, ‘King Ry’ took shots at Spence and his girlfriend. 

“HHHH JUMP SCARE SORRY GUYS AND GIRLS CLOSE YOUR EYES A MONSTER THIS UGLY@GUY CALLED ME OUT FOR A SQUABBLE SAY LESS @errolspencejr CONTRACT TIME p.S. your girl in my DMs OOPS,” wrote Garcia alongside posting an unfavorable picture of Spence. Seeing this unfold on social media, Shakur Stevenson jumped head first in the conversation.

As their back and forth continued on X today, Garcia made a move that shocked some of his fans. In a tweet, the 25-year-old boxer shared a mock poster for a potential fight against ‘The Truth’ Spence. Alongside the poster, Garcia wrote, “Bye bye Spence. August 10th. Dallas cowboys stadium. SELL OUT CROWD.”

Meanwhile, sharing the same poster on Instagram, Garcia had a different message for the Long Island native. Garcia wrote, “It’s on @errolspencejr Official offer been sent You got 72 hours to respond.” While Spence didn’t directly respond to this move from Garcia, he wrote in a tweet, “I’ll legit beat his a** at the (at&t stadium at 154-160) off the strength of him testing positive but [I don’t] take tune ups.”
