Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia card: Who else is fighting tonight?

Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia will meet in a high-profile title fight in New York this evening, as they resume a rivalry from their amateur careers.

The American pair went 3-3 across six fights before turning professional, with Haney eventually becoming undisputed lightweight champion and establishing himself as a genuine pound-for-pound talent. The unbeaten “Dream” relinquished those belts late last year, before producing a masterclass against Regis Prograis to win the WBC super-lightweight title in December. Now Haney, 25, defends the gold against Garcia, also 25.

Garcia enters Brooklyn on the back of a stoppage win over Oscar Duarte in December, a result that saw “King Ryan” bounce back from his first pro loss – a body-shot defeat by Gervonta Davis one year ago.

Garcia’s recent behaviour out of the ring has raised concerns over his mental health, and he missed weight by three pounds on Friday – before honouring a bet to pay Haney $500,000 for each pound overweight.
