Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia go at it in Twitter Space
Rivals Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn both clashed over Twitter Space yesterday, where they threw constant insults and threats at each other.
Brit boxer Conor threatened to fly to America to fight the 25-year-old Californian and also accused him of being a drug cheat.
‘KingRy’ has just emerged from the biggest victory of his career when he floored WBC super-lightweight champion Devin Haney three times, winning the fight on points. However, he has since tested positive for a banned substance and is now under scrutiny for further tests, set to be revealed later this month.
Conor, too, has been subject to failed drugs tests and is currently suspended from fighting in the UK. Inevitably, this cropped up during the heated row. Here is just some of what was said:
Conor Benn: “Ryan, I’ll come over there and give you a good a**e beating, how about that?”
Ryan Garcia: “Let’s go, Conor!”
Conor Benn: “I’ll come over and f**k you up, how about that?”
Ryan Garcia: “Come on, stop it brother.”
Conor Benn: “Listen, lay off the gear mate.”
Ryan Garcia: “Get them eggs out your mouth brother.”
Conor Benn: “You want to come up to 147? I would knock you the f**k out.”
Ryan Garcia: “You suck. 147, 154, whatever weight you want. I’m gonna beat you and Eddie Hearn at the same night. I don’t like you or Eddie Hearn.”
Conor Benn: “More big energy.”
Ryan Garcia: “Hey, ask your girl how mu d**k tastes, how about that? Your girl is dying for my d**k.”
Conor Benn: “I’ll come out there and give you an a**e beating, that’s what I’m gonna do.”
Ryan Garcia: “Oh we can fight.”
Conor Benn: “What’s he got, steroids in his mouth? He’s injecting himself.”
Ryan Garcia: “Oh yeah, I definitely injected myself.”
Conor Benn: “You tested positive for nandrolone.”
