Ryan Garcia has reportedly missed weight by a full three lbs ahead of Saturday’s fight with Devin Haney, which will still go forward. Haney himself said on social media that Garcia missed weight, and that he honored the $500,000 per lb over, so that is $1.5 million of Garcia’s money to Haney. Golden Boy has
JOSH TAYLOR is backing Devin Haney to retain the WBC super-lightweight title on Saturday night (April 20) against Ryan Garcia but is refusing to entertain any thought of a possible fight against the American in the future.

WIDESPREAD concern regarding Ryan Garcia making weight was validated late Friday morning when the troubled contender came in 3.2 pounds too heavy for his 140-pound title fight against Devin Haney.

By Elliot Worsell WE are all susceptible to it from time to time; just saying stuff, that is. Saying stuff that in the moment feels right, or wise, or the right thing to say, until, in the aftermath, it is reframed and all of a sudden seems wrong, out of place; the result of cliché
Ryan Garcia’s mental state has been questioned by many observers ahead of Saturday’s fight with Devin Haney, and he was in consistent form, you would say, at today’s final press conference.

Wednesday, April 17 Another day, another appearance from Ryan Garcia that provided nothing to encourage those hoping he will win Saturday’s fight with Devin Haney.

Posted on 04/17/2024 By: Sean Crose “If you want to go to a Mets game, let me know because I’m throwing the first pitch.” So said Ryan Garcia on social media Tuesday. Things apparently didn’t go as planned. “The Mets just wasted three hours of our life,” Garcia posted later, “to say at the end
IT IS still both peculiar and pleasing to see Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn together some five months after they were first photographed alongside each other, mere moments after they’d first met. We know why they’re now together, of course, but one is left wondering where we might all have been if they hadn’t left
Puerto Rican prospect Xander Zayas is all set for his first main event, as Top Rank announced today that the 21-year-old super welterweight will meet former interim champion Patrick Teixeira atop a June 8th ESPN show at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
