In New York (USA), on the night of April 21st, a professional boxing event will take place featuring American boxer Devin Haney, the WBC super lightweight world champion, facing off against the popular compatriot and knockout artist Ryan Garcia. The bout is set to begin no earlier than midnight, Central European Time.
Devin Haney
At the start of his professional career, Haney became a world champion among youth and gained recognition on the world stage, capturing titles such as IBF USBA, IBF North America, WBO Inter-Continental, and WBC International. Becoming the mandatory challenger for the title, he temporarily received the belt by defeating Zaur Abdullaev. However, his bout with champion Vasiliy Lomachenko never materialized, as Lomachenko opted to vacate the belt in favor of the "franchise" title. Haney successfully defended his title, facing well-known but aging boxers such as Yuriorkis Gamboa, Jorge Linares, and Joseph Diaz. In 2022, he twice defeated the holder of all other belts, George Kambosos, in unification bouts. The following year, he defended his status as undisputed champion by defeating Lomachenko in a bout for all the belts. After that, he decided to move up to the 63 kg weight category and in December of the same year, he captured the WBC title from Regis Prograis.
Ryan Garcia
This boxer is a bright star of amateur boxing, and since 2016, he has embarked on his professional boxing career, starting with fights in Mexico. His breakthrough came in 2018-2019 when he knocked out experienced fighters in the early rounds one after another, such as Jose Lopez, Romero Duno, and Francisco Fonseca. Like Haney, he fought for the temporary WBC title, defeating Olympic champion Luke Campbell in 2021, but then lost it due to injury and mental health issues. Since 2022, he has been competing in the super lightweight division, where he has secured victories over Javier Fortuna and Oscar Duarte. His only defeat came in a bout against the star Gervonta Davis. Interestingly, the upcoming bout will be his first in his career for a full-fledged championship belt.
Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia Prediction
Based on the history of meetings between the boxers, we see that they know each other well — they have met 6 times, and the score is even: 3 wins for each. Haney is the clear favorite; however, I believe the boxers will go the distance, completing all 12 rounds in the ring.
