As reported by talkSPORT’s Michael Benson, who wrote: “Ryan Garcia doesn't even wait for Devin Haney to get onto the stage at the ceremonial weigh-in - jumps onto the scales, downs a beer and celebrates…” You can watch the footage below.

Garcia reportedly said afterwards: "I was drinking a nice a** beer, that s**t was fire."

Before the face-off between the two fighters took place, a massive brawl ensued.

Speaking about Garcia’s behaviour, Oscar De La Hoya said: “He's Ryan, he's unique. He's his own person, he does what he does. Everybody tells me, 'Can't you control him?' I'm not his babysitter, I'm not his manager, I'm his promoter - we put the events together. When Ryan tells me, 'I'm trolling,' I don't know if I should believe him or not.”
