Devin Haney has his own pay-per-view fight on which to focus, but he isn’t a hater.

The undefeated, undisputed lightweight champion admitted that he is pleased that the Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia fight will happen April 22, four weeks before he’ll defend his four titles versus Vasiliy Lomachenko. Haney also acknowledged that he didn’t expect Garcia, a rival from their amateur days, to take this type of challenging fight against a dangerous puncher like Davis.

“I was surprised,” Haney told BoxingScene.com. “I didn’t think Ryan really wanted to fight any of the top guys. I’ve seen him call out these guys for a while, but never fought any of them. And so, I didn’t think so. But I’m happy that the fight happened. It’s good for boxing. It’s a huge fight, [biggest] fight in a long time, and I’m excited for it, truthfully.”

Oddsmakers have installed Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) as more than a 2-1 favorite over Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs). Haney declined to predict who will win their 12-round, 136-pound bout.

“I think it’s a good fight,” Haney said. “I don’t know. Styles make fights, you know? Ryan is a lot bigger than Tank, but Tank has the experience. So, I don’t know. We’ll see. May the best man win.”

That said, Haney wonders whether the much-discussed rehydration clause in their contracts could negatively impact Garcia’s performance. Garcia cannot weigh more than 146 pounds at a second-day weigh-in the morning of their Showtime Pay-Per-View main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas ($84.99).

The 24-year-old Garcia weighed in at 140 pounds for his last fight, a sixth-round knockout of Dominican southpaw Javier Fortuna (37-4-1, 26 KOs, 2 NC) last July 16 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Garcia was not restricted by a second-day weigh-in prior to defeating Fortuna.

“I can’t really gauge it,” Haney said. “I don’t know. You know, the rehydration limit, you know, may mess with Ryan a bit. We gotta see, but Ryan believes in his self and that’s all that matters, so we’ll see. We know what Tank can bring to the table. We know he’s shown it time and time again. You know, we don’t really know exactly what Ryan can do on this stage. So, that’s for him to prove.”

Like Davis, handicappers have made Haney (29-0, 15 KOs), of Henderson, Nevada, more than a 2-1 favorite versus Ukraine’s Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs), a three-weight world champion. The 12-round bout between Haney, 24, and Lomachenko, 35, will headline an ESPN Pay-Per-View event May 20 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
