Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia: Superfight Set for Barclays Center in New York

The highly anticipated showdown between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia is set to take place on April 20, with Haney’s WBC super lightweight title on the line in a DAZN PPV broadcast. The two fighters have a long history, having faced each other six times in the amateur ranks, with their record tied at 3-3. This professional bout is being dubbed as a “game seven” fight to settle the score once and for all.

Haney, the former undisputed lightweight champion, will be looking to defend his title against Garcia, who is coming off a knockout loss to Gervonta Davis last April but bounced back with a win in December. The fight has been years in the making, with both fighters eager to prove themselves in the ring.

The venue for the fight was initially up in the air, with options in Las Vegas, California, and Texas being considered. However, the Barclays Center in Brooklyn was ultimately chosen as the location for this superfight. This decision was made by Golden Boy’s Oscar De La Hoya, with Matchroom Boxing representing Haney for the bout.

Both fighters have only competed once in New York during their careers, making this fight even more special for fans in the Big Apple. Garcia initially tried to get the fight moved out of New York due to tax reasons, but has since accepted the decision.

With the fight set to take place in one of boxing’s most iconic venues, fans are eagerly anticipating the showdown between these two talented fighters. Haney vs. Garcia promises to be a thrilling battle between two men who know each other very well, and boxing fans won’t want to miss a minute of the action.
