Update: Kingry has issued a pretty strong statement on Instagram.
Ryan “Kingry” Garcia claims it’s a lie that his people turned down Romero Duro as a replacement after scheduled opponent Avery Sparrow was arrested. DAZN’s Chris Mannix quotes Kingry as saying, “I came to the weigh-in today expecting Sparrow to be there. I was shocked when he wasn’t. I was never offered Duno. No one said they had a replacement. No one on my team was offered Duno. That was a total lie! They have offered me peanuts over and over to fight Duno. They found a way to try to make me fight Duno. They (Golden Boy) wanted this from the start. This is their *bleep*-up, not mine. Make the money work and I am ready to fight Duno tomorrow!”
Golden Boy President Eric Gomez commented via social media “I want to clarify my previous quote, Team Garcia, not Ryan Garcia, declined the Duno fight since the trainer believed Duno was a tough opponent to take on 24 hour notice without proper preparation.”
So is this Prima Donna fighting Romero Duno who is 20 and 1 with 15 knockouts and more of a challenge than his original opponent with only 3 knockouts, or he taking the night off?
He is being offered HELL in the name of DUNO…
Careful…Peanut is not a Peanut…
Be afraid and Be afraid of what you say
Better let you fist do the fighting…
Hype is never Blind.
It looks like big mouth Garcia doesn’t want to fight anybody who has a pulse. He turned down Romero and now turned down an offer from Peter petrov team. The kid is a big matinee idol fraud
Never a smart idea to alienate your promoter publicly.
Little Ryan is going to get but taped with any of the top ten guys in his weight category little diva.
