Ryan Garcia: record, next fight and profile →

Ryan Garcia rode into his press conference Thursday on a horse, but if he were to be knocked off it, a replacement opponent is on standby to fight Devin Haney.

Devin Haney shames Ryan Garcia over his "I drink and smoke weed" comment, and the L.A. news conference seems to unsettle the popular challenger.

Former undisputed lightweight champion and current WBC Super Lightweight Champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) and international PPV star “King” Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) hosted a press conference in Los Angeles to promote their 12-round super lightweight world championship clash.

Bill Haney, father and trainer of super lightweight titleholder Devin Haney, said at Thursday's Los Angeles press conference that his son will end Ryan Garcia's career as the boxing world knows it April 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Amid the madness at the Avalon Nightclub in Hollywood, California, where the second part of the Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia press tour unfolded on Thursday, one cool head remained: trainer Derrick James.

Thursday in Los Angeles, Oscar De La Hoya was effusive in describing the April 20 Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia matchup as "the fight of the year" and including Haney in a class with Pernell Whitaker, Julio Cesar Chavez and the Golden Boy himself.

Devin Haney angrily accused Ryan Garcia’s father of racism when the fighters again came face to face Thursday in Los Angeles to promote their April 20 fight date.

Devin Haney revealed Thursday in Los Angeles that he had “lost a lot of respect” for Ryan Garcia as a consequence of his rival’s conduct between the two press conferences staged to promote their April 20 fight.

On Thursday in Los Angeles, Ryan Garcia arrived late, astride a white horse, for the second stop of the media tour for his upcoming fight with Devin Haney. It only got weirder and more uncomfortable from there.

At Thursday's Los Angeles press conference for the April 20 Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia fight, Oscar De La Hoya said the bout would prove even bigger than Garcia's 2023 matchup with Gervonta Davis.
