Whereas Golden Boy says they haven’t given their approval for a fight between Ryan Garcia and Rukiya Anpo, the pair held a press convention to formally announce their battle scheduled for December 30 on PPV. Anpo took to the rostrum first and didn’t mince phrases about Garcia.
“Everyone knows Ryan Garcia’s points,” Anpo stated. “Lacking weight, (unintelligible), lack of professionalism, no sportsmanship, no respect. But he dares to name himself king. On battle day I’ll present him…We battle for honor and legacy, not ego…and present him precisely the place he belongs. Fuck you.”
Moments later Ryan Garcia would get his flip on the podium.
“I went to Japan about three months in the past, someday like that, to look at this man — really I got here to look at Manny Pacquiao, I don’t even know who this man is. However I’m simply joyful that I’m working with RIZIN, Fanmio for this wonderful occasion. I do know it’s going to be massive.
“For his phrases, fuck you, how about that. I don’t even know this man, like I stated. I simply know he was attempting to knockout Manny Pacquiao, it pissed me off, so I’m trying to train this man a lesson and train him how you can field. He is aware of how you can kick, he’s a kickboxer…he’s slightly excited proper now, it’s his first massive occasion. This dude’s excited however I’m going to should settle him down, knock him out, after which simply take pleasure in my flight again residence.
