Ryan Garcia Fined $5K Ahead Of Mario Barrios Title Fight After Late WBC Check

Garcia missed the WBC’s 14-day video deadline, then posted 154.2 pounds—inside the 5% cap (155-lbs) for his Feb. 21 Barrios title shot in Las Vegas. Barrios checked in at 153.0 on time. Sulaiman warned, “The WBC hereby imposes a $5000 fine,” with more discipline possible. Next check: 3% over 147 on Saturday. Garcia seeks redemption after a no-contest against Devin Haney.
