Footage of Ryan Garcia went viral on social media after it appeared he was escorted out of the arena.
Garcia, 25, caused controversy last week when he used racial slurs online and had stated that he was heading to rehab to deal with his issues.
But he’s now claimed he skipped rehab to watch his brother Sean fight.
Sadly for ‘King Ry’ he was stopped by Amado Vargas in the fourth round of their contest and he was then filmed leaving the arena with security.
