Ryan Garcia Brags That He Was “High As F***” During Devin Haney Fight

May 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia and boxing fans have been on a rollercoaster ride for weeks. Garcia’s fight with Devin Haney was super hyped up and ended with Garcia being declared the winner. All through the lead-up to the fight, Garcia displayed erratic behavior and generally acted like a fool whenever he got the chance. His antic were all apparently a part of his master plan. They got people to pay attention to the fight. Now Garcia is dealing with the fallout of alleged positive drug tests. Garcia was found to have been taking PEDs prior to his fight, with Haney testing positive twice before the match. Now, the controversial fighter is bragging about how he was high during one of the biggest fights in his career.

Ryan Garcia was three pounds overweight for the fight with Devin Haney. This is why Haney retained his title even though he lost. Ryan Garcia asserts that if he had been using steroids, he would have been in better form for the fight against Devin Haney and that he was high on weed during the fight. Ryan Garcia now acknowledges that he was “high as f***” during their latest fight, and he continued his insistence that he was not utilizing prohibited substances against Devin Haney.

Ryan Garcia Claims He Was Super High During Devin Haney Fight

Ryan Garcia said he didn’t take the illegal drug during a recent visit on The Fully Tilted podcast. The young fighter confirmed that he just asked to have his “B” samples examined. Garcia boasted that he was high when he defeated Haney, even though he denied using Ostarine. “If I were on steroids, I would’ve been in way better shape,” Garcia said. “It was literally drinking every day, smoking weed. I didn’t stop not even until the f****ingday of the fight. And I got in there high as f**k and I beat his ass.”

Garcia admitted that Haney had never been beaten like that his entire career, saying, “It was a walk in the f****ing park. I had harder fights in sparring. It was not hard at all.” He added, “Steroids didn’t help that, brother.” Hopefully, we get some clarification of Garcia’s test results soon. Fans want a rematch, and a fair one at that. Both fighters are at equal weight and no excuses. Overall, the Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney saga is probably far from over.

May 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of T.I.’s sons, King Harris, has been in the headlines over the last few months for antics only. The 18-year-old got into an infamous spat with his family at an Atlanta Falcons game. He was trying to dismiss the fact that he had been born with a silver spoon, saying on a livestream, “What’s wrong with y’all? Why y’all doing that to me? Y’all know me, you know I stand on business. Why would you let someone play with me like that?” Besides it being in public, the timing of it was also poor, as T.I. was invited to perform due to it being hip-hop’s 50th anniversary. Now, King Harris is acting like a tough guy once again, posing a challenge to Foolio.

Foolio is a young Jacksonville, Florida rapper who has been chirping at King Harris online. According to Hip-Hop Lately, he was also confused why T.I.’s offspring was trying to act bigger than he is after the aforementioned fight. Foolio said, “Ion get why jit wanna be gangsta u grew up up wit a silver spoon.” Ever since then, King has grown tired of his Twitter fingers and demanded him to put on the boxing gloves.

King Harris Is Ready To Get In The Ring With Foolio

“Julio Foolio get your b**** a** in the boxing ring, n****. Wanna speak on me? I hear a lot of these n****s got so much to say and they go viral, but when I tell them they can get in that boxing ring everybody wanna be f***ing quiet,” Harris said, puffing his chest out. “I’m not going to lie, I’m on some Mike Tyson s***. I’ve been mad lately. I’m ready ot punch somebody.” However, Foolio seems to think he is not worth the trouble. But he did warn him to tread lightly via Instagram story, “I barely post or troll nomo king find u something productive to do before u be watching Netflix in heaven wit our Lord and survivor”

What are your thoughts on King Harris calling out Foolio and asking him to get in the boxing ring? How do you think is going to play out after this threat and why?

Conor McGregor Calls Out Ryan Garcia After Positive PED Test

May 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia allegedly tested positive for a banned substance twice before his boxing match against Devin Haney. In the lead-up to the fight, Ryan Garcia displayed erratic behavior in a truly wild pre-fight promo. The fighter tried to go viral every chance he got. His behavior was so wild fans were speculating if he was even in the right mind frame to fight Haney. However, after winning against Haney Garcia said it was all an act to troll Haney and all the fans. Now he has apparently tested positive for juicing before the fight, and MMA legend Conor McGregor is calling him out for it.

Ryan Garcia made waves when he completely dominated his fight against Devin Haney. He knocked Haney down three times, and at some point, he looked at his opponent with pity and told him to call the fight. Garcia was already three pounds overweight for the fight which is an advantage in Boxing. It’s the reason why even though he won, he couldn’t take Haney’s WBC title. The news that Garcia was on PEDs has thrown the whole fight into doubt. It’s dangerous to take PEDs in the fight game as you can actually seriously hurt or even kill your opponent. Conor McGregor was not happy about the news and wanted to confront Garcia about it.

Conor McGregor is not happy with Ryan Garcia. The MMA great called out Garcia and UFC fighter Sean O’Malley, who has also been accused of taking the same PED as Garcia. Conor says he was sick at the news for Devin Haney and asserted that Garcia put his life in danger. He calls Haney’s performance even more heroic, going up against someone who was juicing and continuing to get up. Conor wants to fight Garcia but not in a ring, threatening to put elbows on him to teach him a lesson.

Conor McGregor has been rumored but never confirmed to have taken performance-enhancing drugs. At some points in his prime, he refused to be tested for a large swath of his fight career. Nevertheless, it seems McGregor is on team Haney. McGregor clearly considers himself an authority in the fight world, and Ryan Garcia has messed with the integrity of the game. Overall, Conor had some very harsh words for Ryan Garcia. It will be interesting how this whole ordeal plays out.

Canelo Alvarez Gets In Heated Exchange With Oscar De La Hoya

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Things got very heated between Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De la Hoya in Vegas. Ahead of Canelo’s boxing match against Jaimie Munguia, the current boxing champ and boxing legend De la Hoya almost came to blows during the press conference. Before Canelo Alvarez’s championship bout, Oscar De La Hoya and Alvarez had to be separated after comments were made that Alvarez did not appreciate. De La Hoya began by throwing direct jabs at Alvarez during his speech at the press conference. Canelo had previously fought under De la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions organization. Álvarez did not appreciate the barbs and started barking back.

The two boxing icons had previously collaborated for years as fighters and promoters, but their relationship ended badly, and there is still some bad blood between them. Before Canelo’s outburst, De la Hoya said, “There were times my work wasn’t my priority based on my mental health which I neglected for so long but that doesn’t change the fact that Golden Boy built Canelo Alvarez, period.” He doubled down on his assertion, saying, “The company you fought under for decades has always had one name, and it’s mine, so put some f***ing respect on it.”

Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De la Hoya Separated At Oress Conference

Canelo Alvarez shouted out after De la Hoya’s comments saying, “He’s a f***ing asshole. That’s what I say. He’s a f***ing asshole. He tries to get attention for him, not Munguia. He’s a f***ing asshole. He steals [from his] fighters. F***ing p***y. Motherf****r.” The two then had to be separated as Canelo got up from his seat and approached Oscar. Oscar De la Hoya then went back to his seat and sat down as the situation calmed down.

Alvarez is the undisputed super middleweight champion and holds a 60-2-2 record with 39 KOs. he will face off against Jaimie Munguia. Canelo most recently defeated Jermell Charlo in September. Munguía is undefeated and holds a 43-0 record with 34 KOs. It is not going to be an easy fight for Canelo. Munguia is a Golden Boy fighter, making the drama in the ring reflect the drama that has taken place outside of it. Overall, it should be an exciting boxing match.

Ryan Garcia Makes Diddy Joke After Testing Positive For PED’s

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia has recently been taking the world by storm. Throughout the promo for his anticipated face-off with Devin Haney, the boxer displayed some erratic behavior. Garcia drew eyes to himself with his outlandish behavior and bold claims throughout the lead-up to the fight. Despite seeming like he wasn’t in the right headspace, Garcia handled Haney easily. Garcia won the fight in dominant fashion. Although, he could not take Haney’s WBC belt because he was overweight for the fight. Now, news has come out that he tested positive for a banned substance before the fight. Overall, His big win may have taken a big hit in credibility.

Garcia reportedly tested positive for the banned drug Ostarine on April 19, the day before the fight, and on April 20, during his post-fight evaluation. Following the victory, Garcia said that his erratic behaviors were all a part of a larger scheme to “troll” Haney and boxing fans. Now, the battle will probably be reverted to a no contest if the test results prove to be positive. Garcia was already overweight for the fight, which made the result slightly murky. Now, positive results for PEDs throw even more dirt on his landmark victory. Garcia, in character, responded with jokes.

Garcia Says Diddy Paid For The Results In PED Response

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Ryan Garcia jokingly tweeted that Diddy paid for the positive test results. In his rebuttal video for the PED accusations, Garcia is adamant he is not a cheater. He also questions the fact that since they apparently knew before the fight, they still let him step into the ring. The easy answer to that is money. Calling off the fight would have cost a substantial amount of money for a fight that needed to happen for everyone involved. Garcia says he is not a cheater and that he legit “whooped” Devin Haney in their matchup.

Whether the tests are legit or not, the excitement from the fight is still going strong. Garcia is keeping his ridiculous persona going, and fans are eating it up. This just might make a rematch even more likely. Fans already want to see another fight with the WBC title on the line for real this time. Overall, this new wrinkle in the saga might be the first step we see to a rematch between Ryan Garcia and Devin H aney Materialize. Hopefully, we will get some confirmation soon; until then, Ryan Garcia will surely be acting like a fool on social media.

Jake Paul Mike Tyson Will Now Be A Sanctioned Professional Fight

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, a reputable authority in the world of sports, has officially declared the July 20 clash between former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned-prizefighter Jake Paul to be a sanctioned professional fight. This endorsement not only adds a layer of credibility to the event but also underscores its professional nature. Each fighter will don 14-ounce gloves for the eight two-minute rounds of the heavyweight showdown. Additionally, the outcome will significantly impact their professional boxing records. For boxing fans, this development is a welcome one. It brings much-needed legitimacy to the spectacle that has been Jake Paul’s fights.

Boxing fans and general sports fans have probably called in to question how legitimate these YouTuber fights are. Jake Paul has taken down professional fighters in questionable bouts. His Brother Logan Paul famously fought boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in a very weird fight. The fight included Floyd seeming to keep Logan Paul from going down after receiving a Floyd punch. Now, the upcoming Tyson Paul face-off is a legitimate fight held to professional standards. Fans are now hoping to see an unshackled Mike Tyson unleash on Jake Pual. Will Paul have what it takes to stand up to the former champ?

Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said in a statement, “Mike Tyson and Jake Paul signed on to fight each other with the desire to do so in a sanctioned professional fight that would have a definitive outcome.” He continued, “Over the past six weeks, MVP has worked with its partners to satisfy the requirements of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR) to sanction Paul vs. Tyson, and we are grateful that we have gotten to this point.”

Ever since the event’s announcement, there have been a lot of worries about what the rules and regulations will be because the two combatants are over thirty years apart in age. The battle will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be broadcast on Netflix. Tyson’s last win was a knockout against Clifford Etienne in February 2003. Tyson will be 58 by the time of the fight three decades older than his opponent Jake Paul. The fight will definitely be a must-see event.

Ryan Garcia Drops Devin Haney Diss Track After Beating Him… For Some Reason

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

So… is the wait for the Kendrick Lamar response to Drake’s diss tracks really that bad? Well, whether it is or isn’t, there’s a recent boxing victor who chose to capitalize on the moment, celebrate his win, and maybe build a back-up career path in the process. Moreover, fans found it funny that, before K.Dot clapped back at Drizzy, Ryan Garcia dropped a diss track on social media against Devin Haney, whom he recently beat in a boxing match that didn’t count for a title due to Garcia not making weight beforehand. It’s exactly what you expect: a generic trap beat, boasting about the dub, making jokes about Haney’s loss, and admittedly less cringe than what it sounds like.

Furthermore, Ryan Garcia is really feeling himself following this win, and is chirping and chiming into a lot of stuff to prove not just his dominance and relevance, but his will to take things to the next level. To explain this, we have to bring up another boxing beef: Floyd Mayweather versus Gervonta Davis. For those unaware, the former friends have turned sour over the years and are currently throwing shots at each other on social media. Garcia joined the battle by making some wild claims about Davis and Mayweather’s daughter Yaya, which surely can’t be fun for most to hear.

Ryan Garcia Disses Devin Haney On Wax

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

However, for those of you thinking that this only relates to boxing, this actually isn’t Ryan Garcia’s first crossover with hip-hop -– far from it, in fact. For example, he dissed 21 Savage for walking Devin Haney out, which is kind of ironic considering that Garcia wanted Kanye West to walk him out for this fight. Imagine if Haney then dissed Ye for walking the loser out… That would’ve been a whole new beef in and of itself.

Meanwhile, it’s clear that a lot of Garcia’s antics are just self-admitted trolling, but tactics that he knows how to use relatively well. After all, few competitive tactics are as easy to use, but difficult to master as getting in your opponent’s head. We’ll see if this diss track method proves useful or fruitful for the potential rematch. For more news and updates on Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, stay up to date on HNHH.

50 Cent Keeps Trolling Floyd Mayweather Amid Gervonta Davis Beef

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent hopped back into the Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis beef, and although he seemingly deleted his posts on the matter, ink dries in milliseconds in the social media age. Moreover, he had previously seemed to legitimately express concern over Davis’ claim that Mayweather was being held in Dubai for owing the wrong people money. Now, it seems like the G-Unit mogul is ready to see a battle between these two after the former threatened to knock the latter out amid their tensions. “Ahh Champ [Gervonta] gonna f**k you up champ, I think you should only text him. Tank sharp right now might knock you right the f**k out!” he captioned an Instagram repost of Davis’ threat.

Furthermore, for those unaware, Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis are the subject of 50 Cent’s fascination right now due to a spat that broke out between them over social media. This resulted from comments that the former made about other boxers faking the lavish lifestyle they aim to live and not really having things in order nor understanding the sacrifices to get to that point. Davis thought that his former mentor aimed some of these comments at him, and then made the Dubai claims. Not only do they have a history together of friends turned enemies, but so do Mayweather and Fif.

50 Cent’s Latest Troll Of Frenemy Floyd Mayweather Versus Gervonta Davis

Then, the conflict kept escalating online with pot shots from one to the other. Since many of these tweets and posts from Floyd Mayweather, Gervonta Davis, and 50 Cent have been deleted, it’s unclear where things stand now. Maybe they were able to reach some sort of agreement behind closed doors or coincidentally agreed that it wasn’t worth keeping that negativity online. For now, it’s a hard call to make.

Meanwhile, even other boxers like Ryan Garcia chose to jump into this feud, so who knows what could happen next? All we know is that there’s a lot of history here, and this might not be something that a fight or a sit-down conversation could resolve. Hopefully they keep looking for that solution, or at least find humor and no serious animosity in some Internet trolling. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather, and Gervonta Davis.
