Ryan Garcia breaks with Trump, cites faith and Epstein allegations in blunt public statement

Ryan Garcia is back at the center of the public conversation, this time far from the boxing ring. The popular American fighter announced unequivocally that he is withdrawing any past support for Donald Trump, a position he had openly defended for months and has now completely rejected. The announcement came via social media, a platform Garcia frequently uses to share personal, political, and religious views.

The former WBC interim champion left no room for interpretation. In a direct and emotionally charged message, Garcia said his decision is rooted in his absolute rejection of any public figure who has been connected, directly or indirectly, to the events surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s private island. For Garcia, the issue allows no gray areas, especially when it comes to protecting children, a point he framed as the central reason for his break with Trump.

Garcia emphatically withdraws Trump backing

“This is my public declaration and announcement, I’m reclining my past support for Donald Trump. Anyone that was involved in any thing to do with that island and what they were doing, I just can’t support in anyway. Children need to be protected, everyone knew better fuck that. Justice for all,” Garcia wrote in a post that quickly went viral and sparked sharp reactions from both supporters and critics.

Garcia did not stop there. He escalated his rhetoric toward those who continue to defend the former president. In a second post, also shared on his social media accounts, the boxer made it clear that his stance is not driven by party loyalty, but by what he described as a spiritual conviction that outweighs any political ideology.

“Go to hell and back defending your political figures”

“To everyone saying that Trump is innocent and was proven false. I’m not taking chances, I only stand with the kingdom of God you guys can go to hell and back defending your political figures and parties. I stand with God and that’s it.”

Ryan Garcia’s comments reinforce the controversial profile he has built outside the ring, where his social media activity often draws equal parts support and backlash. This time, his message marks a definitive break with a political figure he once backed publicly, and underscores the image of an athlete who is willing to put his personal beliefs front and center, even when it comes with a significant media and social cost.
