Former WBC middleweight champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and undisputed super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez did the same thing in 2017. Garcia is no stranger to making bets as he once wagered $20,000 with unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr that former Tank knockout victim, Rolando Romero would win that fight.
