Ryan Garcia will still fight Devin Haney in New York on Saturday night, despite weighing in at 3.1lbs overweight.

Garcia came in at 143.2lbs on Friday, after agreeing to pay Haney $500,000 for every pound over that he came in at during a Thursday press conference - meaning he has to pay out a huge $1.5million.

But according to talkSPORT, a deal has been renegotiated and the show goes on - the two will still fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.


It's the latest dramatic instalment in a build up that has been marred by continuous erratic behavior by Garcia, mainly on social media.
