Oscar De La Hoya Hits Back on Ryan Garcia Racism

Oscar De La Hoya on Saturday has released a statement condemning Ryan Garcia’s recent racist remarks.

The Golden Boy promoter emphasised that there is no room for hate or intolerance at his company and expressed strong disapproval of Garcia’s words.

“There is no room for hate or intolerance at my company. Period. I condemn Ryan’s words in the strongest terms possible.” De La Hoya said.

“I see that he has apologised, and that is a start, but it is only a start to earn back the trust and respect of those of us who have and continue to support him.” De La Hoya added.

Del La Hoya also admitted Garcia’s apology but stressed that it is only a start to earn back the trust and respect of those who have supported him.

“We hope Ryan will use the the time he has away from the sport to work through the issues he has publicly discussed. We stand ready to help in whatever we can.” De La Hoya said.

Garcia on Thursday has faced significant backlash after making racist remarks about Black individuals and disparaging comments about Muslims during a social media livestream.

On the other hand, Garcia has posted an apology on X, he said: “I struggle with substance abuse and that he takes all responsibility for my words.”

“It’s been a tough couple of months, as everyone can tell, but I am sorry.” Garcia added.

The WBC President, Mauricio Sulaiman, has expelled Garcia from any contest within the sanctioning body, and Garcia’s family has also condemned his words and urged him to seek resolution.

“Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organisation. We reject any form of discrimination.” Sulaiman said.
