However, LaBeouf had harsh words for Ryan Garcia and criticized his behavior with his wife.
Yeah [big boxing fan]. Right now, probably Gervonta Davis. He’s electrifying. Him, Shakir, like that whole weight class, that whole division. Other than Ryan, all of those guys that they promote are fire. I don’t like that Ryan guy at all… One he quit, but also, I heard a story about his girl got pregnant, gave birth, and then he divorced her the next day and I thought oh you’re garbage.”
Garcia shocked fans earlier this year when he followed up the announcement of his son Henry Leo Garcia’s birth with a statement that he was divorcing his wife Andrea Celina. The couple had been married since 2021 and have another child together, a daughter, Bela, aged three.
