But he was spotted leaving the venue in a wheelchair as he was flanked by his entourage.
According to TMZ, Davis was nursing an ankle injury – the severity of which is unknown.
The WBA (regular) lightweight champion said of the injury: “S**t happen all the time.
“S*** be happening. But I’m all right.”
Davis and Garcia’s eagerly-anticipated clash is currently scheduled for April 15.
But negotiations recently hit a snag as both parties are arguing over who will be the A-side should a rematch come to fruition.
Golden Boy Promotions chief Oscar De La Hoya told ESPN: “It boils down to who’s going to control the rematch.
“We’re literally down at the 1-yard line; what’s holding everything up is the rematch clause.

“It’s only fair if Ryan wins, then our side controls everything as the A-side
“This is just the way it always has been. … It’s common sense that whoever wins is the A-side.
“That’s the bottom line. We’re not reinventing the wheel here.”
De La Hoya, however, is hoping the squabble will soon be resolved.
He said: “We’re holding strong because we know it’s fair.
“And we feel 1,000 per cent this fight is going to be made and be the biggest fight of the past few years.”
