Ryan Garcia's mole allegations have forced sparring partner to speak up. Rising star Garcia suffered a seventh-round knockout defeat to WBA regular lightweight champion Gervonta Davis this past Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Although the former WBC interim lightweight champion was gracious in defeat and touted his opponent as a great fighter, 'King Ry' suggested that a mole in his fight camp might have revealed vital information to Davis in a recent social media post.
The 24-year-old was allegedly injured during one of his sparring sessions. Tsendbaatar Erdenebat, an undefeated boxer, is said to have hurt Garcia with a body shot during training.

Erdenebat has now confirmed the injury rumors in a video posted to Instagram, comparing how Ryan Garcia fell prey to a similar body shot against Davis.
In a subsequent post, the former Olympian clapped back at the "mole" allegations against him. The Mongolian apologized for his previous post, which he thinks might have caused the confusion owing to a messy Google translation:
"Ryan, my Bro! My last post, I used google translate. The translation was incorrect and confusing. My apologies. Who is Mole? What are you talking about? I am not mole. I don't even speak English. I don't even like Tank... I was cheering for you to win against Tank. Next time try to learn from sparring, and hopefully, you will not get hit by the same punch during the fight."
