RYAN GARCIA said he “f***ed up” by introducing Jake Paul to boxing and blasted him for “disrespecting” the sport.

Garcia hit out on X following the YouTuber-turned boxer’s first-round knockout of 17-2 Ryan Bourland.

He said: “I can’t do this s***. I feel so f***ing bad for introducing Jake Paul to boxing. I f***ed up. I can’t allow this to happen.

“He’s disrespecting my sport, he’s disrespecting everything. Call my team, Jake. F*** you.”

Paul, 27, and Garcia, 25, had similar circles of friends while living in Los Angeles and even filmed content together.

Barring a few rehearsed fall outs, the two have been largely supportive of each other.

So Paul was left bemused by Garcia’s social media slam but refused to rule out a future fight between them.

He said: “Ryan, I love you, you know that bro but you gotta chill out, bro.

“Because there’s a line and you just seem like you’re losing your mind acting thirsty, desperate, saying you’re a billionaire when you had one money fight.

“I’m just saying, chill bro. But if you do want to fight, that to me is light work.

“You’ve got no footwork and for as long as you’ve been in the game, I’m a better boxer than you.”

Paul improved to 9-1 as a boxer with Tommy Fury, 24, the only man to beat him following his split-decision win in Saudi Arabia last year.

Meanwhile Garcia returns on April 20 in his first world title fight, against old amateur rival and pound-for-pound star Devin Haney, 25, in New York.

The American lost for the first time last year to Gervonta Davis, 29, in a blockbuster bout he claimed earned him $30million (£24m).

Meanhiile, Paul’s co-headliner Amanda Serrano was forced to pull out of her fight last night with a bizzare injury that left her promoters promising fans a full refund.
