In a dramatic turn of events at the weigh-in for the upcoming WBC super lightweight title fight, Ryan Garcia weighed in at 143.2 pounds, exceeding the 140-pound limit by 3.2 pounds. This breach of the weight limit means Garcia is ineligible to win the title in his bout against Devin Haney. Prior to the weigh-in, Garcia and Haney had agreed to a $500,000 per pound penalty for any weight overage. Consequently, Garcia is required to pay Haney $1.5 million due to being over the limit. The fight is still scheduled to proceed despite Garcia's weight issue.
