Ryan Garcia misses weight for Devin Haney fight
Ryan Garcia weighed in at 143.2 pounds for his WBC super lightweight title fight against Devin Haney at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, missing the 140-pound limit by 3.2 pounds. As a result, Garcia is ineligible to win the championship belt, and the match will proceed as a non-title bout.
Following the weigh-in, Garcia reportedly agreed to pay Haney $1.5 million, a penalty calculated at $500,000 for each pound over the limit. While Haney successfully met the championship weight, Garcia responded to crowd criticism with defiant remarks, maintaining his readiness for the bout.
