Following his disappointing loss to Vasyl Lomachenko, former lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr. found himself the target of taunts from rising star Ryan Garcia.
On Twitter, Garcia wrote, "George Kambozo s*cks. I'm sorry."
Kambosos Jr. did not take kindly to Garcia's dig, especially given Garcia's recent struggles. Garcia has been accused of using banned substances and is awaiting the results of a B-sample test.
In his response, Kambosos Jr. reminded Garcia of his lack of titles and accused him of "cheating" in his fight against Devin Haney.
“Won more belts than you’ll ever win princess the clean way [kiss emoji],” wrote the Aussie. Then, in an open rebuke, he hit out at Ryan Garcia: “Cheating dog I rather go out on my shield against the best and lose like a man than cheat with weight advantages and enhancements like you did,” in reference to him coming over weight in his fight against Devin Haney. But the attack didn’t end there.
Kambosos Jr. also challenged Garcia to a street fight.
"Let's have a street fight then f**k the ring!! Use all the [Syringe emoji] you want," he wrote.
Garcia responded disgracefully back to Kambosos commenting about his wife on mother's day.
Kambosos is a proud family man and has repeatedly publicly praised Bec and shared public love for their family, which includes children Evaliah, Leonidas and Santia.
Kambosos next step
Kambosos Jr.'s loss to Lomachenko has raised questions about his future in the lightweight division. He now faces a crucial decision: seek a high-profile fight to bounce back or take a calculated matchup to rebuild momentum.
Garcia, meanwhile, is facing his own challenges. If the B-sample test confirms the presence of banned substances, he could face a lengthy suspension. This would put his highly anticipated fight against Haney in jeopardy.
