Ryan Garcia Loses $100K Bet to Frank Warren Over Mexico vs. England

Ryan Garcia’s reported $100,000 wager with boxing promoter Frank Warren hinged on England defeating Mexico at Estadio Azteca, and the bet now shifts back to Garcia after the Three Lions won 3-2. With England heading to Miami to face Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals, the result is reverberating beyond football and into the welterweight champion’s boxing commitments. Garcia’s confidence was tied to Warren’s long history of taking risks, including a reported £25,000 wager at an unlicensed fight and a $41 million purse bid to promote Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte. It also reflects Warren’s Queensberry vs. Matchroom event success in June 2024. Warren said the $100,000 would go to a UK charity he supports, while Garcia vowed to defeat Conor Benn next.
