Ryan Garcia's post-fight antics have the internet buzzing after a video emerged showing him seemingly smoking cannabis and taunting Devin Haney's father.
Garcia, the underdog, pulled off a major upset on Saturday night, defeating the previously undefeated champion Devin Haney by a majority decision. The victory came after a tumultuous build-up where Garcia's social media behavior raised concerns about his mental state.
However, the 25-year-old appeared to put those concerns to bed with a dominant performance in the ring. The celebrations, however, took a controversial turn with the now-viral video.
In the clip, Garcia puffs on what seems to be cannabis, laughs, and taking aim at Devin Haney's father, he said:
“Smoking on that Bill Haney pack”
The internet, unsurprisingly, erupted in reaction. Some fans appreciate his flamboyant personality, with one commenting:
“Love him or hate him, you can’t deny he is entertaining as hell in and out the ring”
“He’s lowkey hilarious,” wrote another fan.
“Bill Haney not feeling good rn NGL 💀,” added another.

Ryan Garcia admits to drinking while preparing for the title fight with Devin Haney
The highly anticipated clash for the WBC super lightweight title was thrown into disarray when Ryan Garcia weighed in over three pounds heavier than the contracted weight limit. This added controversy to Garcia's already concerning pre-fight conduct, which included unusual online behavior and moments of tension during press conferences.
Many observers doubted the fight would even take place. However, 'KingRy' defied expectations, putting on a dominant display to defeat Haney.
In a surprising post-fight revelation, Garcia admitted to an unorthodox training regimen that included near-nightly alcohol consumption. In the presser, he said:
"I walked through the fire, and still held it down. And still beat Devin Haney. And still drank every day. And still beat him. I did everything. What the f**k? False reality right? Drank every single night, went out on the first Monday and Tuesday and drank... Not necessarily am I proud of it, but I'm just saying."
