Ryan Garcia tasted defeat for the first time in his career when he came up against Gervonta Davis in April 2023.
Both men are touted as future stars of the sport and entered the ring with undefeated records of 23-0 and 28-0, respectively. After a competitive opening few rounds that saw strong blows landed by both pugilists, 'Tank' began asserting his dominance over his opponent.
In Round 7, Davis landed a perfectly placed punch to the liver that forced 'KingRy' to take a knee. He was unable to make the referee's 10-count and was handed his first professional loss.
But Garcia has now opened up about the mole in his camp who leaked information about him suffering a separated rib several weeks before fight night. 'KingRy' pointed to his intense weight cut to make 136 pounds as the reason for his rib injury.
He also stated that Floyd Mayweather, a long-time friend and mentor of Davis, paid someone in Garcia's camp to leak the information about the injury.
During a recent interview with Compas on the Beat, 'KingRy' said this:
"Mayweather paid somebody $100,000. I don't know necessarily who it is. I have an idea, there was only three people that were in the gym at the time."

During his appearance on the Patrick Bet-David Podcast last week, he said this:
"My rib got separated because I was losing so much weight... There was only three people, I'm sorry, four people that were in there... That's why Gervonta knew. I got Judased." [3:20-5:25]
