— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) April 24, 2023Prior to the bout at the final press conference, Davis repeatedly alluded to the idea that he'd had a mole in his opponent's gym.
Garcia initially laughed off the suggestion and invited Tank and his team to watch him train in person. However, in the aftermath of the fight itself, this has become no laughing matter.
One of Garcia's sparring partners Erdenebat Tsendbaatar (a 5-0 Mongolian who previously boxed at the 2016 Olympics) has spoken out about hurting him to the body in camp.
Tsendbaatar said in a bizarre Instagram video: "Hey King Ryan, in sparring I injured you with a body shot. Now you lost to Tank. I am sorry. Are you okay?"
Prior to the bout, when Davis was asked if he believed he could hurt Garcia to the body, he told FightHype: "He got hurt to the body before. He thinks I don’t know that. It wasn’t in no fight.
"Ask him. Let him know that I know he got hurt to the body. Word gets around real fast.”
As a result, Garcia posted an Instagram story on Sunday night which read: "Actually sad I had a mole in my camp. Like what the f***, that's crazy. But thank God it's brought to light now."
He followed up with a second post which read: "Also, didn't mean that to come off as an excuse or anything. I lost, period. I'll come back.

"But I'm just shocked that part of my team crossed me, someone close to me. Unbelievable.
"But it's a testimony that you must be aware of anyone."
There is no suggestion that it is Tsendbaatar himself who was the spy, and he has since spoken out again to reinforce this point.
He said: "Hey King 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 will fight him and KO him in the future.
"During out sparring I tried to help you and sparred Tank's style of boxing. I was cheering for you to win against Tank.
"You are great boxer, but next time try to learn from sparring and hopefully you will not get hit by the same punch during the fight.
"Good luck to you and God bless."
