Boxers are always doing the most to sell a fight.
Devin Haney, holding titles in two weight classes, is set to defend his super lightweight championship against Ryan Garcia this Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Anticipation for the bout intensified on Tuesday during a promotional event atop the Empire State Building.
The tension was palpable as Haney and Garcia, both prominent figures in the young boxing scene, faced off. After a brief exchange of words, Haney pushed Garcia, leading to their separation by officials before the situation could escalate further.
Haney and Garcia are no strangers to competition, having faced each other six times in their amateur careers, with each boxer winning three times. However, this upcoming match marks their first professional encounter.
Haney comes into the fight undefeated with a record of 31–0, including 15 KOs. Garcia enters the ring with a record of 24–1, with 20 of his wins coming by knockout.
