Boxer Ryan Garcia announced he is going to rehab following his racist rant on X last week.
On X, Garcia repeatedly used racial slurs and disparaging remarks about George Floyd, a Black man who died in 2020 after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes.
Garcia said that he hated “N-ggers” and that he also hated “Muslims,” and made disparaging remarks about the Jewish community.

“I take all responsibility for my words,” wrote Garcia on X. “I’m misunderstood, I just got a lot of trauma. And It’s been a tough couple of months as everyone can tell but I AM SORRY. I struggle with substance abuse and it hard for me with everything going on.”
