However, there’s a twist to it as well. Garica was overweight by 3 pounds when he was weighed in for the fight. The commission fined the fighter and announced that he would not become the champion if he won the battle. Garcia agreed to it. He even paid a substantial $1.5 million to Haney for the missed weight. Now that Haney’s team wants to overturn the match, Ryan Garcia has come forward to demand his money back.

‘King Ry’ took to his X to add a statement regarding this. “I need my money back if they overrule my victory. I paid him money, and that was to accept the weight. So give me my f**king money back.” wrote Garcia. Nonetheless, the situation might a but grim for the boxing prodigy. Whats your opinion on the entire situation?
