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.
