Ryan Garcia announces he is headed to rehab while also addressing recent racist remarks

Ryan Garcia recently announced that he had made the decision to seek professional help and enter rehab after his tirade on social media. He also addressed the recent racist remarks that he made and took accountability for his actions.

'KingRy' caught the attention of the combat sports community for a noticeable change in his demeanor and antics ahead of his most recent bout against Devin Haney. His actions since then have even resulted in his father pleading with him to seek help for alcohol.

The 25-year-old has since come to the realization that perhaps it would be a wise decision to seek help and even apologized for his racist remarks in a lengthy Instagram post, where he noted that his comments were out of context. Garcia then added a comment to the post announcing that he will be entering rehab. He wrote:

"I'm also headed to rehab"
