The highly anticipated showdown between WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney and challenger Ryan Garcia is set to take place on April 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. While this will be their first meeting as professionals, the two fighters are no strangers to each other.

Haney and Garcia have a long history that dates back to their amateur days, where they sparred together and faced off in the ring multiple times. Despite their familiarity with each other, both fighters are confident in their abilities and believe they have what it takes to come out on top.

With both fighters eager to prove themselves and settle the score once and for all, the upcoming bout between Haney and Garcia is sure to be a thrilling and intense showdown that fans won’t want to miss. Stay tuned for what promises to be an epic clash between two of the sport’s rising stars.
