Garcia, 25, and Shields, 29, have been at loggerheads since she favored Devin Haney as the two childhood rivals tussled over the ostarine saga. The American boxer has openly opened fire on Garcia, as she blasted him for cheating. But she expected it the least when Garcia sent her derogatory messages, which she shared on her X handle. Garcia, at 24-1, went on a rampage and insulted Shields, as he wrote, “I’m saying you said my mom don’t got cancer crack head. Are you f*king an idiot. Dumb a*s crack head read b*tch. Screenshot b*tch.”

In addition, they didn’t let any opportunity slide by to make a jibe at each other. But the friction between them is reaching a tipping point, as the Flint native blasted Garcia and called him a “piece of sh*t.” What else did she say?

The undisputed champion added, “And now that your roller coaster is going down you are pointing the finger at everyone else! Go look in the mirror! You are the problem! You are The reason. Stop using God to make excuses for you being a terrible person! The jig is up! GO GET HELP!!”

Notably, Shields has also floated the idea of a man-vs.-woman boxing match against Garcia to settle their beef once and for all. However, it might not materialize anytime soon because Garcia has to serve a year-long ban after NYSAC slapped him with a year ban, along with a fine and a forfeit of the guaranteed purse.
