Unified lightweight world titleholder Mikey Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs), 30, of Moreno Valley, California, and mandatory challenger Richard Commey (27-2, 24 KOs), 31, of Ghana, made a deal late Monday night and the IBF notified its registered promoters that the purse bid scheduled for Tuesday afternoon was canceled. “We made a deal for the fight, a real deal,” Commey promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN. “Mikey Garcia isn’t walking through Richard Commey.” The sides have 15 days to return signed contracts to the IBF. When the fight will happen is not clear but if Garcia goes through with it, it obviously means he would fight at least once more before a much-discussed move up to welterweight to challenge world titleholder Errol Spence Jr. Also, no word on the broadcast outlet for a Garcia-Commey fight but with Fox about to kick off its long-term deal with Premier Boxing Champions it’s possible it could land there. Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, with his backing from streaming service DAZN, has also been pursuing Garcia.
