HTF is Ryan Garcia getting a title shot?!

Ryan Garcia fails a drug test and does not make weight then loses against Rolly and now is getting a title shot. How does that happen?

Has there ever been a more undeserved boxer who was able to get a title shot that way?

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman officially announced that the ruling had been reversed.

"The WBC Board of Governors has voted in favor of lifting the ban on [Ryan Garcia] after his successful process which has been documented," Sulaiman tweeted. "The WBC has been very close to Ryan, his family, management and promoter and we trust a new life inside and outside the ring will begin. We welcome you with open arms and trust you will be an ambassador for the new generation."

The lifted ban is merely the next step in the potential Mario Barrios-Ryan Garcia title fight, which is rumored to happen in early 2026. Neither fighter won a fight in 2025, with Garcia's last official victory coming in December 2023.

Garcia's loss to Romero was also for a title. The two competed for the vacant WBA welterweight belt, which had been recently vacated by Terence Crawford.

"I'm officially unbanned from the WBC," Garcia tweeted. "I want to thank the WBC for seeing my efforts of change and making this decision. I'm ready to put that green and gold belt on and representing as a true champion."
