The lightweight contender and one of the biggest rising prospects in the lightweight division, Ryan Garcia, shot himself in the foot while reflecting his thoughts on celebrity boxing sensation Jake Paul.

However, at the end of the interview, the host asked ‘KingRy’, if he is Jake Paul’s fan. As if ‘The Flash’ was ready for this question. He poured his love for ‘The Problem Child’ in a brief response.

The 23-year-old said, “I love Jake. Jake’s my guy. I got nothing bad to say. I hope he keeps doing good making all the right decisions. I mean obviously he’s beating everybody that he’s fighting most boxers are fighting guys that they don’t have to fight at all any way. I can’t really claim that he is doing something wrong.”

Notably, Ryan Garcia is going to collide with the 10th best lightweight by The Ring, Emmanuel Tagoe. Interestingly, he had already endured the ire of boxing critics and fans to choose the Ghanian pugilist for his comeback fight, and, while commenting on the social media personality, he foolishly harmed his own cause.

Another fan-supported this comment and wrote,” facts bro.”
