Ryan Garcia's Vandalism Charge Dismissed

Ryan Garcia's misdemeanor vandalism charge related to an incident at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills has been dismissed by a judge, who noted Garcia's prompt restitution of over $15,000 for the damages. The judge granted a civil compromise despite objections from the Los Angeles County District Attorney, acknowledging Garcia's lack of a criminal record and the hotel's decision not to pursue further action. Garcia expressed gratitude for the outcome and is looking to refocus on his boxing career after serving a one-year suspension due to a positive drug test. Additionally, Garcia is also facing a lawsuit from Devin Haney stemming from the same fight where he tested positive for a banned substance. The dismissal of the vandalism charge allows Garcia to potentially pursue a lucrative rematch with Haney, which could draw significant pay-per-view interest. Both fighters appear to be positioning themselves for a high-stakes rematch in 2025.
