    Devin Haney VS Ryan Garcia Mega Fight , NY Press Conference-2024

    0

    A dangerous rivalry that has been brewing since their days in the amateur boxing scene has finally hit a fever pitch as undefeated, former undisputed lightweight champion and current WBC Super Lightweight Champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) will defend his title against international PPV star “King” Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs).

    The 12-round fight is presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Haney Promotions, KingRy Promotions, and Matchroom Boxing. The mega-event will take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday, April 20, exclusively live on DAZN PPV.

    “Facing Ryan Garcia on April 20, 2024, is another step in my pursuit of greatness and cementing my legacy as one of the sport’s greatest champions,” said Devin Haney. “I don’t need to say much. My track record speaks to my ability in the ring to overcome any challenge thrown my way, and rise to the top.

    I will place everything in the Lord’s hand. I pray that Devin comes out healthy and safe, and that everyone is entertained.”

    “The Golden Boy mantra is the best fighting the best, and it’s hard to remember a better example of that than when Ryan Garcia and Devon Haney square off on April 20,” said Chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya.

    “Championship gold, bragging rights over a long, intense rivalry and the status as the face of American boxing will all be on the line with no catchweight, rehydration clauses or other nonsense. This is a can’t miss fight that fans can’t afford to miss.”

    “We are incredibly excited to be broadcasting this mega fight live on DAZN PPV,” said Jared Kass, SVP North America DAZN.

    “Devin and Ryan are two next superstars of US boxing but only one can be crowned come final bell on April 20.

    This stacked night of boxing joins an already packed spring schedule which sees Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou fight March 8, the Undisputed Heavyweight Title between Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk May 18 and countless domestic matchups all live and only on DAZN.”

    Devin Haney, widely known as “The Dream,” is an undefeated and accomplished professional boxer with a perfect record of 31 wins and 0 losses who has taken the boxing world by storm. With his lightning-fast hands, exceptional boxing skills, and unyielding determination, Haney has emerged as one of the sport’s most exciting and promising talents today.

    The two-division champion left no doubt when he was elected Sports Illustrated 2023 ‘Fighter of the Year.’ In a remarkable feat, he has attained the title of the youngest undisputed world champion and the first undisputed lightweight world champion in the modern four-belt era by dethroning then-champion George Kambosos.

    Haney vs. Garcia is a 12-round fight for the WBC Super Lightweight World Championship that is presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Haney Promotions, KingRy Promotions, and Matchroom Boxing. The event will take place on Saturday, April 20 on DAZN PPV live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

    Exclusive interview with Devin Haney (WBC) World Lightweight Boxing Champion -2022

    0

    Devin Haney is an American professional boxer who has held the WBC lightweight title since 2019. As of June 2021, he is ranked as the world’s fourth best active lightweight by The Ring magazine.

    As an amateur, Haney won seven National titles. In January 2015, aged 17, he became the youngest boxer to win the Youth World Championships in Reno. He had an amateur record of 138–8 bouts before turning professional in 2015 at the age of 17. Out of those eight losses, two are from his now rival Ryan Garcia in the amateurs the two have fought four times, both having won twice.

    In April 2019, Haney signed a co-promotional deal between his own company, Devin Haney Promotions, and British promoter Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing. On May 25, 2019, Haney defeated Antonio Moran via a vicious seventh-round knockout, in his first match under the Matchroom banner.

    On September 13, 2019, Haney defeated Zaur Abdullaev (11–0) to win the vacant WBC interim lightweight title.

    In October 2019, Haney became the youngest (i.e. latest-born) world champion in boxing when he was elevated as the WBC lightweight champion after previous WBC lightweight champion Vasiliy Lomachenko was promoted to “Franchise Champion” by the WBC.

    Haney was born in San Francisco and lived in Oakland, California as a child, but moved with his father Bill to Las Vegas. He started boxing at the age of seven. He converted to Islam in April 2021.

    Ring Magazine presents its first-ever event in the U.S.A. titled “FATAL FURY’ in Times Square NY-2025

    Ring Magazine presents its first-ever event in the U.S.A. titled “FATAL FURY’ in Times Square NY-2025

    Comments are closed

    Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez kick-off a two-city Press Tour this Tuesday, March 4, in New York, ahead of a spectacular three-fight card in Times Square, New York on Friday May 2, as Ring Magazine presents its first-ever event in the United States titled “FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves”, brought to you by SNK Corporation in association with Oscar De La Hoya for Golden Boy Promotions and Eddie Hearn for Matchroom Boxing.

    Garcia will clash with Rolly Romero, Haney battles Jose Ramirez and Lopez meets Arnold Barboza on the night, and all fighters will be present at the launch press conference at the Palladium Times Square on Tuesday. Media entry will be from 2pm with the press conference commencing live at 3pm ET.

    A second press conference is set to take place in Los Angeles on Monday March 10, and details of this event will be released to the media soon.

    New York’s iconic Times Square will be turned into a world-class boxing venue for one night only to provide the backdrop for Ring Magazine’s first American event, playing host to some of the biggest stars of the game, as Garcia returns to action on May 2 against the larger-than-life former World title challenger Romero. Former world ruler Haney will be looking to oust the former unified 140-pound king Ramirez, while Brooklyn’s Lopez always guarantees fireworks in the ring and his next assignment is a tough one in the shape of the unbeaten Barboza.

    Times Square will stage a boxing tripleheader featuring the returns of Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, along with a title defense for Teofimo Lopez, on May 2.

    The card announced Friday by Turki Alalshikh, the head of Riyadh Season and the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, brings Garcia and Haney back to New York for their first bouts since Garcia’s victory in their 2024 title bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. That was later changed to a no-contest after he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and was subsequently suspended for a year by the New York State Athletic Commission. Victories for both could set the stage for a rematch between the two.

    Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) will headline the Ring Magazine “Fatal Fury: City of The Wolves” card against Rolando “Rolly” Romero (16-2, 13 KOs), who was stopped by lightweight champion Gervonta Davis in 2022 in his last fight in New York.

    Garcia said at the presser today in NYC: “[Me and Rolly] sparred about eight years ago, it was rough sparring, he continued to use that to boost his career, but I don’t have no bad blood with him. I’m here to do my job and set up the rematch [with Devin], I’ve got to be sharp because he’s going to bring it.

    “I want to be great, I have also wanted to fight the best fighters, as far as my problems outside the ring, I’ve always had those struggles, I want to show everybody that you can come back from anything.

    “I admit my wrongs, I want to show I’m a true professional, I don’t want anyone to take my actions of drinking and smoking before a fight and thinking that’s the professional thing to do.” Romero rebuffed Garcia’s suggestion that those sparring stories were used to ‘chase clout’.

    He added: “I mean, if I was clout chasing, he’d have had clout, but he didn’t have any. It’s just sparring, we’re gonna see the real fight in the ring, it’ll be one of the biggest fights in US history that’s for sure.

    “I said years ago me and him were going to fight at welterweight, I outgrew 140 and 135 long, long ago. I’m all muscle right now.”

    Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) will move up to welterweight to take on Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) in a matchup of former 140-pound champions.

    Arnold Barboza Jr believes that, once again, he can walk into his opponent’s backyard and shock the world when he faces Teofimo Lopez in New York City this spring.

    Barboza (32-0, 11 KOs) beat Jack Catterall by split decision to claim the WBO ‘Interim’ 140-pound championship in Manchester last month, and he’s going straight back into camp for another huge clash in a few weeks.

    The Mexican-American will aim to take the WBO and Ring junior-welterweight titles from Lopez (21-1, 13 KOs), who is one of the standout stars in the sport and holds huge wins over Vasiliy Lomachenko and Josh Taylor.

    Lopez hasn’t fought since a unanimous decision victory over Steve Claggett last summer, and it’ll be 11 months out of the ring by the time he steps between the ropes to fight Barboza.

    Barboza, fresh off his victory over Catterall, is on a roll right now, having also beaten Jose Ramirez on a Riyadh Season card back in November.
