Ryan Garcia: record, next fight and profile →


Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia agreed to a “bet” of $500,000 ahead of Friday’s weigh-in for their WBC junior welterweight title fight.

Devin Haney insists that he has always believed that Ryan Garcia would be his opponent on Saturday night

By logging a 21-year career that included 56 fights, the piling up of 366 rounds and the glory of standing as world lightweight champion from 2014-2018, Jorge Linares fully understands the demands of boxing. So when he inspects the carnival ride that Ryan Garcia has brought to the lead-up of his Saturday WBC 140-pound title shot at unbeaten champion Devin Haney, Linares is beyond befuddled.

Devin Haney: ‘I Don’t Know If Ryan Garcia Is Taking The Fight Serious Or Not’

Another day, another appearance from Ryan Garcia that provided nothing to encourage those hoping he will win Saturday’s fight with Devin Haney. Both fighters, separately, spoke and performed media workouts at Brooklyn’s celebrated Gleason’s Gym.

Jim Lampley, it is safe to say, is not a fan of social media. “I’m a member of a tiny and increasingly pitiful minority who believe that almost anyone who pays significant attention to social media should be worried about their state of mind,” the veteran broadcaster told BoxingScene in a recent interview.

Ryan Garcia described himself as a “little mental” as he finalized his preparations for what could prove to be a career-defining fight. On Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, he will challenge his long-term rival Devin Haney for Haney’s junior lightweight title.

Devin Haney says he's less concerned with Ryan Garcia's prefight behavior and more focused on proving his own greatness in Saturday's defense of his junior welterweight belt in Brooklyn, New York.

Devin Haney (21-0, 15 KOs) will set foot in the ring on Saturday night in the highest-profile fight of his career to date against Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York. The fight will see the heated pre-fight build-up come to a close, much to the relief of many. Garcia’s eccentric behavior boiled over on Tuesday, with Haney slapping Garcia at a media appearance in New York as frustrations reached boiling point.
