When Ryan Garcia fights Devin Haney, the junior welterweight champion of the WBC, on Saturday, he will have his first shot at a world title—pay-per-view action broadcast live from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
Haney recently won the championship in his debut fight at the division with a commanding victory over Regis Prograis. Haney has established himself as one of the best fighters in the sport regarding power per punch, having won the lightweight title without a doubt before moving up.
In April 2023, Garcia made a bold decision by taking on Gervonta “Tank” Davis in a highly anticipated fight between two of the best up-and-coming boxers. Garcia fell to another young superstar via stoppage due to a body shot, but he’s retaking a big chance two fights later.

Garcia (24-1) was enraged; he repeatedly referred to Haney as a “bitch” before Devin lost it and gave Ryan a solid shove to the face.
Garcia staggered back after the push but didn’t seem to have been phased. Fortunately, that was the only incident between the two; after all, the boys would be paid to compete in person in a few days.
Ryan Garcia shared on his X the event and captioned it, “ Bro I thought he was going in for a kiss no cap
Diddy got him good
Devin whispered in my ear saying “come” do me like diddy DADDY
Pretty weird”
While some fans assume that Haney’s (31-0) and Garcia’s altercation was actual, others feel it was staged to draw attention to the bout.
However, Bill, Haney’s father and trainer, insisted that it was genuine and intimate.
