Devin Haney is setting the stage for a decisive victory against Ryan Garcia in their upcoming fight on April 20, boldly declaring his intention to deliver a one-sided beatdown.
"I'm going to beat the s*** out of him," Haney stated confidently. "I'm going to beat him so bad we won't need a rematch. The world won't want to see a rematch."
Haney's confidence is backed by an impressive track record, having defeated top contenders such as Regis Prograis, Vasiliy Lomachenko, George Kambosos Jr. (twice), Joseph Diaz Jr., Jorge Linares, and Yuriorkis Gamboa since 2020. The 25-year-old fighter currently holds the undisputed lightweight title and is the WBC super lightweight champion, solidifying his status as one of the sport's pound-for-pound best.
Reflecting on his journey, Haney expressed gratitude for reaching this pinnacle in his career. "This is a dream come true of mine. I always dreamed of being here one day, and now I am finally here," he said.
"I worked so hard to get here. I sacrificed a lot to be here. On April 20, the world will see, and my hard work will pay off. The world hasn't seen the best of Devin Haney. Every fight, I'm getting better and better."
However, the build-up to the fight has bee marred by Garcia's erratic behavior, which Haney has not taken lightly.
"I have respect for Ryan. We shared the ring six times as kids; we came up together. But over [the promotion], I have lost a lot of respect for him," Haney remarked. "I am a true professional in everything that I do. This guy is a f***ing clown – him and his family. And I'm getting this guy out of boxing."
With tensions running high and both fighters eager to prove themselves, the showdown between Haney and Garcia promises to be a fiery encounter that fans won't want to miss.
