Troubled boxing superstar Ryan Garcia has been labeled by some on social media in recent months as the “Kanye West of boxing,” but the comparison certainly doesn't hold water. There are certain advantages.
Garcia, who will face WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney for the title in a highly anticipated grudge bout in New York on April 20, has been making headlines for his incredible social media and interview activity.

He later denied that Hitler ordered the murder of six million Jews, saying the Germans “had a really good leader at one time.”
“He didn't kill 6 million Jews. That's factually wrong,” West said, in what was in some ways his most anti-Semitic statement ever.
“I'm not trying to shock you. I like Hitler. The Holocaust didn't happen…Hitler has many redeeming qualities,” he said.
Even Jones, no stranger to controversy, appeared visibly uncomfortable at times throughout the three-hour broadcast.
In a recent interview, Garcia revealed that he asked the American rapper to accompany him on his walkout to the ring for the Haney fight, but Garcia also said that he didn't want to talk about Sean Love Combs (also known as P. Justin). He revealed that he refused for a reason. diddy).
