In a dramatic turn of events, boxing sensation Ryan Garcia found himself at the center of controversy after being ejected from Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets, on Tuesday. The incident unfolded as Garcia, along with fellow boxer Devin Haney, was slated to throw the first pitch at the Mets-Pirates game in Queens. However, just before the scheduled event, Mets officials abruptly canceled the arrangement, citing concerns over potential trouble on the field due to the boxers’ animosity towards each other.
In response to the last-minute cancellation, Garcia took to social media to vent his frustration, launching into an expletive-laden tirade against the Mets organization. In a video posted on his Twitter account, Garcia, accompanied by his promoter Oscar De La Hoya, expressed his disappointment at the turn of events, accusing the Mets of wasting their time and ultimately kicking them out of the stadium without valid reason.
“I’m personally gonna say f**k the Mets,” Garcia exclaimed in the video, urging his followers to boycott Mets games in the future. The outburst continued on Twitter, with Garcia vowing to “expose” the Mets and Major League Baseball (MLB) for their actions.

The saga took a bizarre turn as Garcia made cryptic and alarming statements on social media, including claims of being murdered and tied up by “the elites” at Bohemian Grove. He also made controversial remarks about an impending earthquake that would “destroy” Hollywood and Las Vegas, and labeled Elon Musk as the Antichrist.
The Mets’ decision to rescind Garcia and Haney’s involvement in the pre-game ceremony may have been influenced by an earlier altercation between the two boxers at the Empire State Building. During a faceoff against the iconic Manhattan skyline, Haney allegedly pushed Garcia, leading to a heated exchange between the two.
Garcia’s response to the incident raised eyebrows, as he asserted that Haney’s actions constituted a hate crime, claiming to identify as a woman and citing his LGBTQ+ status. The unexpected twist added fuel to the already contentious situation, further complicating the relationship between the two fighters.
As the fallout from Garcia’s expulsion from Citi Field continues to unfold, questions linger about the impact of his controversial statements and actions on his career and public image. With tensions running high and emotions flaring, the boxing world braces for the next chapter in the saga of Ryan Garcia.
