Ryan Garcia called out 21 Savage on Twitter following his win over Devin Haney in their fight for the WBC Super Lightweight Title. The Atlanta rapper had walked out with Haney for the bout. “This proves 21 ain’t no savage,” Garcia wrote. Despite the win, he was ineligible to take Haney's title after weighing in at 143.2 pounds Friday for the 140-pound contest.
Regardless of the ineligibility, Garcia was elated after the win. "I don't give a f--- what people say about me. I walked through the fire and still held it down and still beat f---ing Devin Haney and still drink every day," he said, as noted by ESPN. "Not necessarily am I proud of that, but I'm just saying it was a statement to show you, you guys can't really f--- with me."

He also complained about the refereeing during the match. "It was a horrible ref," he added. "[Haney] was holding me for dear life, and I felt an opportunity to keep swinging while my hands were free and I cracked him. And then he took a point away when I cracked him, but [Haney] held me and then I should have knocked him out in that seventh round. They stole that from me. … And Devin was holding and holding and holding. … That was ridiculous. That was crazy. I never seen some s--- like that." Check out his message for 21 Savage below.
