Haney Two-Hands Garcia Atop Empire State Building
WBC Super Lightweight Champion Devin Haney came face-to-face with bitter rival Ryan Garcia atop the Empire State Building earlier today in New York City, a press gathering designed to help to kickoff fight week for their 12-round title bout, taking place this Sat. night (April 20, 2024) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Not surprisingly, things got physical within a matter of seconds.
“When I first came into the game, I just wanted to make a bunch of money and then I did that,” Garcia said during their recent press tour. “But now I want to go for the legacy, I wanna go for the belts and Devin’s in the way. I’m on my vengeance arc. I’m ready to get back in blood in everything so I’m coming straight for his neck. I promise you, I’m coming straight for you, it’s going to be ugly.”
“Not a conspiracy, Ryan is a hoe!” Haney wrote on Twitter. “Four days.”
Garcia, 25, returned to the win column with an eighth-round knockout victory over Oscar Duarte late last year in Houston. As for Haney, also 25, he kept his undefeated record intact by outpointing Regis Prograis a few months back in San Francisco.
