Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia have inked a deal for a clash scheduled for April 20 in Las Vegas. This pay-per-view spectacle pits two of the sport’s brightest young stars against each other, with Haney’s junior welterweight championship on the line.
Haney, the undefeated 140-pound titleholder, boasts an impeccable record of 31-0, with 15 KOs. His journey to the top has been nothing short of spectacular, marked by victories over Jorge Linares, George Kambosos Jr., Vasiliy Lomachenko, and Regis Prograis. These wins not only solidified his status as the top junior welterweight but also catapulted him into discussions for the pound-for-pound rankings.
Ryan Garcia, meanwhile, brings a mix of speed, power, and an immense social media presence that has made him one of the sport’s most recognizable faces. Despite a setback against Gervonta Davis, Garcia’s resilience and determination have seen him bounce back, setting the stage for this electric showdown.
Their amateur history adds an additional layer of intrigue to the bout, with the pair having split six fights. Although, as professionals, Haney has edged ahead, amassing the more impressive resume, Garcia’s quick hands and knockout power present a challenge that Haney cannot take lightly.
