Boxing star Ryan Garcia lashed out at the New York Mets after being ejected from Citi Field on Tuesday.

Garcia and Devin Haney, who will headline the Barclays Center for the WBC super lightweight title on Saturday, were scheduled to throw out the first pitches ahead of the Mets-Pirates game in Queens.

But the baseball team reneged on the deal at the 11th hour, fearing the two boxers would let their animosity cause problems on the field. After the incident, Garcia posted a video slamming the Mets on his social media.

“Yo guys, the Mets just wasted three hours of our lives,” Garcia said in the video, with promoter Oscar De La Hoya walking with him. “To say at the end, ‘You can’t throw the pitch,’ for whatever reason.” There was no reason and they kicked us out.’

“I personally want to say f**k the Mets,” he exclaimed. ‘Never go play the Mets again. F**k the Mets.’

Before Garcia was asked to leave the premises, he had entered the ballpark and practiced his form in front of the pitch. The knockout artist also claimed he would ‘throw a hundred mile an hour, two hundred mile an hour fastball’.

After posting the first video, Garcia continued to express his frustration on X, saying: ‘Met lad Haney and 12 goons and I could only bring 1 security guard and 2 of my film crew.’

“I will expose the Mets as bad and MLB,” he said in another tweet.

“GO YANKEES,” he wrote in a third post, referring to the heated rivalry between New York’s baseball teams.

During the build-up, fans have been concerned about Garcia’s well-being as his social media activity has become increasingly concerning. Garcia previously wrote a cryptic post claiming he had been murdered and claiming he was bound by the ‘elite’ at Bohemian Grove.

Garcia’s bizarre rants continued when he claimed an earthquake would ‘destroy’ Hollywood and Las Vegas. He also labeled Elon Musk as the Antichrist.

Although the Mets pulled the plug on having Garcia and Haney on the mound perhaps a little too late, sources shared that the decision stemmed from the boxers’ brawl at the Empire State Building earlier in the day.

During a faceoff in front of the Manhattan skyline, Haney shoved Garcia in the face, sending the Victorville, California native back a few feet before they were separated.

After the altercation, Garcia said he ‘identifies as a woman’ and therefore makes Haney’s action a hate crime.

“Devin touched me without my consent, I’m suing him for putting his hands on me,” Garcia wrote. ‘And I identify as a woman. So he touched me like a grown man and hit a grown woman. And I’m lgbtq+. So now it’s a hate crime. Nah this is SO F***ED UP.’
