"He's just another opponent". Haney said about preparing for the fight against Garcia

WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney discussed his preparation for the fight against Ryan Garcia.

The bout between Haney and Garcia is set to take place on April 20 in New York. Earlier, Haney's father revealed how the purse will be split between the fighters for their upcoming match.

“Camp has been amazing. I’m in the zone – always. I’m obviously getting more adjusted to this new weight class – I am getting stronger, my mind is clear, I’m in the best shape physically, and I am just ready to go. Not having to go down the extra five pounds has been a tremendous help for me. I had been at 135 for a long time. At 140, it just feels so different. My performance against Regis Prograis showed that.

At the end of the day, Ryan Garcia is going to say what he is going to say. No matter what, I am going to do my job to be the very best Devin Haney I can be. Whichever version of Ryan shows up on April 20, I will be ready for him.

Ryan Garcia is just another opponent to me. I am in competition with greatness. That is why I train so hard, that is why I stay so disciplined.” quotes Haney BoxingScene.

This will be the seventh bout between the boxers but their first as professionals. They have faced each other six times in amateur boxing.
