Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia LIVE: Latest fight updates, start time, undercard and results

Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney shake hands after ‘religion’ dispute

Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia will meet in a controversial fight this evening, with some fans and pundits arguing that the bout should have been called off.

Garcia’s behaviour out of the ring has raised concerns over his mental health, and the 25-year-old’s failed weigh-in on Friday only heightened beliefs that he may struggle badly against Haney.

Haney, also 25, went 3-3 against Garcia during the Americans’ amateur days, but the “Dream” has surged ahead of Garcia as a professional. The unbeaten Haney reigned as undisputed lightweight champion before vacating those belts late last year, and going on to take the WBC super-lightweight title from Regis Prograis in December.

That belt was due to be defended tonight, but Garcia’s three-pound weight miss has made him ineligible to win the gold. Per a bet made by Garcia, the would-be challenger must also pay Haney $500,000 for each pound overweight.

There are fears in the boxing community that Ryan Garcia could get badly hurt when he fights Devin Haney this evening. There are fears that he is already hurting.

In Brooklyn tonight, Garcia and Haney will resume a rivalry that dates back to their amateur careers – a time when there was little to separate the Americans as they went 3-3 across six bouts. Yet as they prepare to meet in the professional ranks as 25-year-olds, nine years on from their last tilt, it feels as though they could not be further apart.
