Boxer Ryan Garcia has shared a two-minute apology video directed primarily at his ex-wife, Andrea Celina, days after a viral video allegedly showed him vandalising her home.
In the video, Garcia expresses his remorse and reveals that he is seeking help.
“I want to apologise,” Garcia, also known as KingRy, stated.
He added, “Andrea, you’re the mother of my children, and I will always love and respect you. I take back all my statements about her. She never stole money from me, wronged me, or cheated on me.”
Garcia added, “We weren’t together, so she is not a cheater. She’s a wonderful woman.”
This apology comes after allegations that the 24-1 boxer berated Celina for supposedly cheating on him and damaging their home. Garcia is also accused of causing the damage himself.
Currently, Garcia is serving a boxing suspension after testing positive for a banned substance following his fight against Devin Haney. Despite Garcia’s strong performance, the match was ruled a “no contest.”
The 25-year-old from California admitted he has “lost everything” and emphasised his need for help.
“In the next few months, you’re going to see a change,” Garcia declared.
Garcia has had a turbulent few months. Apart from the drama with his ex-wife and the Haney fight, he was arrested for allegedly damaging a Waldorf Astoria hotel room in Beverly Hills and expelled by the WBC for using a racial slur on social media, for which he has since apologised.
Garcia announced his divorce from Andrea Celina in January, around the time she gave birth to their second child.
