On Saturday, March 2, Jake Paul called out Ryan Garcia for stating that he is “disrespecting boxing,” with a clear cut response, “I’m a better boxer than you.” The comments from Jake Paul towards Ryan Garcia came after he knocked out Ryan Bourland at 2:37 in the first round, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
After Jake Paul got the better of Ryan Bourland in front of a crowd, which was rooting for him, Ryan Garcia lashed out at him on the official X account. He sent out an audio post, talking about how he shouldn’t have introduced Jake Paul to boxing, and how he is disrespecting the sport.
Ryan Garcia said, “I can’t do this s***. I feel so f****ng bad for introducing Jake Paul to boxing. I f***ed up. I can’t allow this to happen. He’s disrespecting my sport, he’s disrespecting everything. Call my team, Jake. F*** you. I’m going to end this Jake Paul boxing thing. Bring it on Jake, I'm dead f****ng serious f*** you, hit my team up”.
Jake Paul responded to Ryan Garcia at the post-fight press conference and said, “Ryan, I love you and you know that bro but you’ve got to chill out bro. There’s a line but you just seem like you’re losing your mind and acting thirsty and desperate. You're saying you're a billionaire but you've had one money fight. Just chill bro, but if you do want to fight that’s light work. You’ve got no footwork and for as long as you’ve been in the game I’m a better boxer than you.”
