Things got intense between Ryan Garcia’s father and British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn on Saturday night.
‘King Ryan’ scored perhaps the biggest win of his professional boxing career, dispatching WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney with a sensational 12-round performance that saw him knock down ‘The Dream’ three times during the contest. Garcia ultimately left with a majority decision victory despite Haney walking into the bout as a massive 8-to-1 favorite on multiple sportsbooks.
Immediately following the festivities, Hearn and Ryan Garcia’s father got into a heated verbal exchange backstage.
“Big respect to Ryan Garcia, he was amazing,” Hearn began before being interrupted by Garcia Sr.
