Ryan Garcia was the unexpected victor in his recent fight against Devin Haney, despite being considered a heavy underdog. The fight took place in Brooklyn on April 20, where Garcia secured a majority decision win over Haney. Originally scheduled as a bout for the WBC super lightweight championship, the fight took a turn when Garcia weighed in three pounds over the limit, resulting in the belt not being on the line.
However, the aftermath of the fight has been marred by controversy as Garcia tested positive for ostarine, a banned substance categorized as a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). This revelation came to light both the day before and the day of the fight. Garcia vehemently denied any wrongdoing, stating that he has never used steroids and has minimal experience with supplements.
