Ryan Garcia is no longer eligible to win the WBC Super Lightweight World Championship on Saturday night.
Stepping on the scale during Friday’s weigh-in, ‘King Ryan’ weighed in at 143.2 pounds, well over the 140-pound limit for his Brooklyn-based headliner with reigning titleholder Devin Haney.
However, the fight will move forward as scheduled, but Garcia cannot win the belt.
Throughout fight week, Haney repeatedly noted that Garcia looked heavy and suggested that his opponent would not make weight.
