He revealed that he regularly drank. “I don’t give a f—k what people say about me,” Garcia said at the post-fight press conference. “I walked through the fire, and still held it down and still beat f—king Devin Haney, and still drank every day and still beat him — I did everything.
“What happened?” he continued. “False reality, right? I drank every single night, went out on the first Monday and Tuesday, and drank, drank, drank. What happened? I won. I’m not necessarily proud of it, but I’m just saying. It was a statement to say you guys can’t really f—k with me. I can do whatever I want.”
Garcia also open up and say part of the reason he drank was because he’s going through some things outside the ring.
“I was just having fun, man. Look, I’m going through a lot,” Garcia said. “I went through a divorce, and a lot of s—t is happening to me, you know, outside my life, and it low-key kind of broke me. So, I did what I felt like I needed to do to feel okay.
“So, I drank every day and did whatever I wanted,” Garcia concluded. “I’m not proud of it at all. I just pray for my kids, and hopefully, they are okay. I hope I made them proud.”
