Andre Ward Warns Ryan Garcia To Stay Off Social Media

by

Veteran boxer Andre Ward has warned Ryan Garcia to stay off social media amid Garcia’s whirlwind week of concerning posts. “I think the first thing is, he’s got to get off social media,” Ward said. “I think somebody around him gotta tell him, ‘We gotta deal with this, but we not going to deal with it in the public side’,” Ward told TMZ.

In a now-deleted tweet, Ryan Garcia accused social media star Bryce Hall of inappropriate conduct with minors. “Apologize for messing with underage kids,” Garcia wrote while calling out Hall by name. “You need to repent and stop hiding behind TikTok for clout,” Garcia added. Hall has been previously sued for his conduct at an LA restaurant. However, there have been no previous allegations linking him to conduct with minors. However, Garcia also appeared to have a moment of clarity after days of posting conspiracy theory-fuelled tweets. “I Ryan Garcia, will not be speaking or tweeting or writing anything other then My Fight “Boxing” and Sports. All topics of discussion will be discussed after my fight 🥊 5 weeks of focus. You have my word I’m locked in I’ll see you 4-20,” Garcia also wrote.

Andre Ward Gives Jake Paul His Flowers For Expanding Boxing’s Audience

Elsewhere, Ward recently gave high praise for Jake Paul during an interview with TMZ. “I don’t hate on it. The crossover stuff like what Jake Paul, Logan [Paul] is doing, [Francis] Ngannou just did, I respect it. That takes a lot of courage, takes a lot of heart. It actually brings a new audience, more eyeballs,” Ward said, “and if the fanbase follows them over to boxing, then more power to ’em. I’m a fan of it, I appreciate it and I watch it.” Ward said. Furthermore, he noted that he would be open to taking on one of the Paul Brothers in an exhibition fight.

The rise of non-traditional boxing has been a mixed bag. Jake Paul has talent but little desire to fight actual boxers. Logan is more interested in pursuing his wrestling career than in boxing. Furthermore, both his fight with Dillon Danis and KSI’s fight with Tommy Fury was referred to as a “disgrace to boxing”. However, then you have Francis Ngannou giving Tyson Fury “the toughest fight in a decade” and even receiving a WBC ranking out of it.

Drake Loses Massive Bet As Francis Ngannou Suffers Brutal KO

by

The sports betting bad luck of Drake has struck again. The rapper lost $615K after former MMA star Francis Ngannou suffered a brutal second-round knockout at the hands of former boxing world champion Anthony Joshua. Unlike his previous fight against Tyson Fury, Ngannou was never able to hang with Joshua. He was floored twice before Joshua was able to hit a clean uppercut that rendered Ngannou unconscious. The fighter had been administered oxygen after being roused.

“On the route to the championship, you should always stay focused. This was me stepping aside from that mission. But when I saw [Ngannou] and the fight against Tyson Fury, I was like, ‘Damn, this guy can fight,’ so I said I need a piece of that. He’s an inspiration. He’s a great champion. This doesn’t take away anything of his capabilities because in boxing it’s one or the other. He can come again,” Joshua said after the fight.

Drake Can’t Find A Clean Bet

As mentioned, Drake’s luck has been inconsistent at best when it comes to sports betting. He lost $700K as Dricus du Plessis beat Sean Strickland via split decision at UFC 297. The South African claimed the middleweight title after a bloody back-and-forth that could have easily gone the way of the defending champion. Furthermore, the bout was the fourth middleweight title fight to see the belt change hands. Drake would have won $1.4M if Strickland had been able to defend his title.

In fact, Drake went 0-2 on Strickland. In September 2023, he put down $500K on Israel Adensanya to beat Strickland, only for the American to stun Adensanya at UFC 293. Drizzy would have walked away with a cool $920K if he had won. However, Strickland pulled off what many are calling the greatest upset in UFC middleweight history. Despite this, Drake has found some recent success. He won over $2M for his Super Bowl bet last month.

Drake Backs Francis Ngannou With Massive Bet

by

Drake is back on his sports betting grind. The rapper has put up $615,000 to favor Francis Ngannou over Anthony Joshua. If the bet pays off, Drake will walk away with nearly $2M. Ngannou is an MMA legend who recently transitioned to boxing through his new contract with the PFL. Meanwhile, Joshua is a former unified heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist. Ngannou enters the fight as a fairly hefty underdog, at least for oddsmakers.

However, sports betting has not always gone well for Drizzy. In January, Drake lost $700K as Dricus du Plessis beat Sean Strickland via split decision at UFC 297. The South African claimed the middleweight title after a bloody back-and-forth that could have easily gone the way of the defending champion. Furthermore, the bout was the fourth middleweight title fight to see the belt change hands. Drake would have won $1.4M if Strickland had been able to defend his title.

Drake Jokingly Asks Canadian Government To Annex Buffalo

Elsewhere, Drake recently requested that the Canadian government annex the City of Buffalo to allow his friends living under travel restrictions to see him perform. “@canada can we make Buffalo a province for a day so my friends that can’t travel can come see me perform…just this one time,” Drake wrote on Instagram. The It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? Tour arrived in Buffalo last week. The tour, featuring Lil Durk and J. Cole, is an extension of the tour Drake did last year with 21 Savage.

Buffalo has long been used as “not Canada” by various entities. When COVID travel restrictions made it difficult for MLB teams to visit Toronto, the Blue Jays briefly relocated to their minor league affiliate in Buffalo for several games. Buffalo is a common tour stop for musicians due to its size and promixity to Canada. The city is around 28 miles from the Canadian border. However, the Canadian government has yet to respond to Drake’s request.

Video Of Jake Paul Saying He Wouldn’t Fight Mike Tyson Resurfaces

by

A video from 2020 of Jake Paul saying he wouldn’t fight Mike Tyson has resurfaced after the pair announced a bout in July. “Look, I’m confident, but I’m not stupid. I would not go into the ring with them. Nah, no chance,” the then 2-0 boxer told TMZ. Paul will fight Tyson in a boxing match at AT&T Stadium in Dallas and streamed live on Netflix. The streaming platform announced the July fight on social media to the surprise of the sporting world. The fight, which will likely be fought as an exhibition match, comes in the midst of Paul taking his boxing career more seriously. The last time that Tyson fought was an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.

“Mike Tyson is one of the biggest icons in boxing history and Jake Paul is one of the biggest disruptors in boxing history. Saturday, July 20 will be pure drama in the ring in Texas. We are thrilled to partner with Most Valuable Promotions for this historic event and we can’t wait for these two to face off for fans all across the world on Netflix,” said Gabe Spitzer, VP of Sports Nonfiction at Netflix. The event will be the latest sports offering from the streaming giant. There has been previously been the Netflix Slam for tennis and the Netflix Cup for an F1/PGA crossover.

KSI Mocks Paul-Tyson Fight

However, not everyone is keen for the fight. KSI has taken aim at the recently announced fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. “50+ years old. No one wanted this…So sad to see man…,” KSI wrote in response to the announcement. However, it’s not the first time that KSI has gone after Paul. In December, KSI announced that he was no longer interested in fighting Paul after news broke alleging that Paul was yet to sell out his fight against Andre August. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore. I ain’t wasting my time to fight him lol,” KSI wrote on X. The smaller venue fight at an Orlando casino was being hailed by Paul as his way of proving his boxing credentials rather than his PPV draw ability.

Despite this, Paul is clearly looking beyond KSI at this point. Paul took aim at Canelo Alvarez after beating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO in Puerto Rico. “Hey, Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I’m repping Puerto Rico; you’re repping Mexico. So, it’s Puerto Rico versus Mexico,” Paul said. It’s not the first time that Paul (9-1) has called out Alvarez (60-2-2). However, Canelo told the YouTuber-turned-boxer to “stay in his lane” the last time Paul made such a challenge.

KSI Labels Jake Paul-Mike Tyson Fight As “Sad”

KSI has taken aim at the recently announced fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. “50+ years old. No one wanted this…So sad to see man…,” KSI wrote in response to the announcement. The fight was revealed by Netflix, who will broadcast the fight, and will take place in Dallas in June.

KSI No Longer Wants Jake Paul Fight, Points To Paul’s Low Ticket Sales

However, it’s not the first time that KSI has gone after Paul. In December, KSI announced that he was no longer interested in fighting Jake Paul after news broke alleging that Paul was yet to sell out his fight against Andre August. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore. I ain’t wasting my time to fight him lol,” KSI wrote on X. The smaller venue fight at an Orlando casino was being hailed by Paul as his way of proving his boxing credentials rather than his PPV draw ability. “This is probably just a break-even fight for me. I probably won’t even make money on it. Who knows what the outcome is. It’s $200,000 for a private jet to fly around just to get me there and back,” Paul previously told TMZ.

Despite this, Paul is clearly looking beyond KSI at this point. Paul took aim at Canelo Alvarez after beating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO in Puerto Rico. “Hey, Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I’m repping Puerto Rico; you’re repping Mexico. So, it’s Puerto Rico versus Mexico,” Paul said. It’s not the first time that Paul (9-1) has called out Alvarez (60-2-2).

Is Ryan Garcia On Cocaine? Cam’ron Certainly Thinks So

by

Cam’ron has attributed Ryan Garcia’s recent string of concerning posts about conspiracy theories to be the result of cocaine. “This got yola written all over it. Yola, sugar, nose candy. That [sniffs]… Yeah, Snow White, Becky. This got this written all over it,” Cam’ron proclaimed. However, Ma$e was a little more cautious. “I thought this was very, very alarming and that something was really wrong. So I’m trying to stay serious about it because I got a lot of jokes coming into my mind. But I don’t wanna joke on this situation,” Ma$e said.

Following an apparent hack over the weekend, Garcia, or at least Garcia’s account, has continued to post concerning content. The boxer claimed that he was “taken to the woods” where he was “forced to watch kids getting raped”. He also tweeted that he was shown an alien and that he has proof that he could potentially release. However, things only got weirder when Garcia joined a Twitter Space hosted by Andrew Tate. Garcia reasserted his claim that he had been forced to watch pornography featuring children after being “tied down in the woods”. Furthermore, Garcia also said, “Bohemian Grove is real”. Bohemian Grove is a private campground belonging to a Gentleman’s Club in California. Conspiracy theorists believe that the ultra-exclusive two-week annual gatherings held at Bohemian Grove are actually secret meetings of the Illuminati or members of the “New World Order”.

Bryce Hall Responds To Ryan Garcia Allegations

Meanwhile, Bryce Hall has dismissed the allegations of inappropriate conduct with minors made about him by boxer Ryan Garcia. “Credible sources lol. I also murdered someone if anybody says that online too,” Hall wrote in response to a Drama Alert post reporting Garcia’s claims.

The boxer, who has spent the few days making increasingly concerning posts, took aim at Hall earlier today. “Apologize for messing with underage kids,” Garcia wrote while calling out Hall by name. “You need to repent and stop hiding behind TikTok for clout,” Garcia added. Hall has been previously sued for his conduct at an LA restaurant. However, there have been no previous allegations linking him to conduct with minors. Garcia has since deleted the tweet. Furthermore, Garcia has since said that he will not be speaking on another other than his upcoming fight with Devin Haney.

Jake Paul Calls Out Canelo Alvarez After Latest Boxing Win

However, Tyson is not the only boxing legend Paul is coming for. Paul took aim at Canelo Alvarez after beating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO in Puerto Rico. “Hey, Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I’m repping Puerto Rico; you’re repping Mexico. So, it’s Puerto Rico versus Mexico,” Paul said. It’s not the first time that Paul (9-1) has called out Alvarez (60-2-2). However, Canelo told the YouTuber-turned-boxer to “stay in his lane” the last time Paul made such a challenge.

However, Paul’s MVP event in his adopted island home was not all good news. MVP was forced to scrap Amanda Serrano’s Puerto Rican homecoming just minutes before the fight was meant to begin. Serrano was deemed unfit to fight due to an eye injury sustained on Friday. “She wanted to fight, but the doctor didn’t allow her to fight, because of the problem in the left eye. I assume the fight will be rescheduled and we will sanction the fight,” WBO President Paco Valcarcel said. MVP offered full refunds and promised to pay out Serrano’s opponent’s purse.

Ryan Garcia Calls Devin Haney Fight “Personal”

Meanwhile, Garcia’s worrying behavior comes about two months before his highly-anticipated fight with Devin Haney. “To me, it is personal in a way. I don’t know, something’s just in me. I don’t even feel like answering these questions bro, I’m sorry,” Garcia told TMZ last week. However, Garcia did answer a few more questions from the outlet, further sounding off about his April opponent. “I don’t give a f-ck about his boxing skills. I’mma beat his a–, that’s it! I’m not a boxing analyst. Forget that dude! He’s gonna get it, 4/20, that’s it!” Garcia added.

Even though there are nearly two months before their fight, tensions are high between the two men. Garcia and Haney had been separated at Super Bowl LVIII in February after getting into a brief altercation. Additionally, the pair traded words when they jointly appeared on First Take this week. Who are you backing in the bout? Let us know in the comments.
