Haney vs Garcia

Garcia is met with a good reception as he takes to the ring, despite being booed earlier in the night.

But here comes the reigning WBC super-lightweight world champion Devin Haney.

Here they come

Ryan Garcia is the first to make the walk!

He comes in to a mix of No Child Left Behind and Jesus Walks by Kanye West.

Now Garcia is walking to the ring to traditional Mexican music. The buzz here is sensational.

Big hitter

Ryan Garcia found fame and fortune overnight after becoming a viral sensation – but his first big contract did not last long.

Garcia is one of boxing’s biggest superstars with an army of fans and over 10 million Instagram followers.

His antics online have made him almost as famous as his devastating performances in the ring.

And it all started for Garcia when he was just a teenager, showing off his sensational hand speed in the gym in front of a cameraman.

His blistering combinations, almost too fast to catch with the naked eye, were captured on film and uploaded on social media.

And by the time Garcia went to bed and awoke, he was an overnight sensation and boxing’s new one to watch.

Story of the fight

This rivalry goes back years, to the amateurs in fact.

They boxed six times resulting in a 3-3 draw with this acting as a true Game 7 decider.

Haney comes into the bout as the undefeated champion while Garcia is the bigger box office draw but less accomplished in the pro ranks.
