Ryan Garcia
Boxing’s Full Of Daejon Loves
Anyone Can Say They Fight!

Ryan Garcia has a word of caution for women on social media … beware of boxers!
The WBC welterweight champ chopped it up with TMZ Sports this week at an open workout for his huge upcoming fight with Conor Benn … and we had to ask King Ry about the biggest scandal in sports — Daejon Love.
The fugazi Niner seemingly had no problem finding his alleged victims — he’s accused of defrauding 26 women out of $1.3 million — but Garcia says it’s even easier to pretend to be a fighter because “anybody can say they’re a boxer.”
“It’s easier to lie that you’re a boxer because literally anybody can be a boxer,” the 28-year-old told us.
We asked Garcia if he’d seen people pretending online.
“Yeah, of course. The pathological liars. Like, ‘I won Golden Gloves.’ No, you didn’t. I know you didn’t.”
Ryan added … “I noticed they’re lying. I got a good sense of it. Once you get that feeling that somebody’s bulls***ting, that’s probably right.”
About the women who allegedly fell for Daejon’s BS? Garcia’s perplexed.
“It’s just hilarious, bro. I don’t know how the girls fell for that. Like, he was saying the craziest things. And, I don’t know, that’s one of the funniest stories, bro. The memes are crazy.”
Love scandal aside, we also got down to business with Ryan … just about a week before one of, if not the most anticipated bouts of the year.
Is he intimidated by Benn’s ripped physique, which he’s been showing off on social media? Nope, not a bodybuilding competition, Ryan says.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
And while he’s laser-focused on Conor, we got Garcia to glance into the future just a bit … previewing a potential unification matchup between him and Teofimo Lopez!
Last month, Lopez, coming off a victory over Rolly Romero, told Babcock he wasn’t interested in a rematch … but instead wanted the winner of Garcia and Benn.
Ryan’s adamant that’ll be him.
