“Might get killed trying to kill me” – Devin Haney sends stern warning to Ryan Garcia for his ambitions on fight night 

Devin Haney and his long-time rival, Ryan Garcia, are eagerly awaiting their highly anticipated clash on April 20th.

In the past, the two individuals have competed against each other six times, all in the amateur ranks, resulting in three wins for each of them.

‘The Dream’ is determined to defend his recently-claimed WBC lightweight championship, earned by defeating Regis Prograis in an impressive manner in 2023. Garcia is focused on his comeback following his first career loss to Gervonta Davis in 2023.

‘KingRy’ made headlines when he declared his intentions to “kill”Haney during their upcoming seventh match in the ring.

According to him, this was the case:

“Listen, Ryan might get killed trying to kill me. Sometimes when you want something so bad it backfires on you, so we’ll see. He may run in to something that he can’t get back up from.”

Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia exchange words over weight controversy before upcoming fight

The highly anticipated showdown for the WBC lightweight championship is just under three weeks away, with Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia set to face off.

The duo must adhere to a weight limit of 140 pounds, however, unlike Garcia’s previous bout against Gervonta Davis, there will be no restriction on rehydration in the upcoming championship match.

Despite the doubts surrounding the title fight due to the controversial behavior of ‘KingRy’ over the past month, it seems that these concerns have now subsided. ‘The Dream’ retaliated against Garcia’s remarks, hinting that his opponent may struggle to make the weight limit of 140 pounds.

“They are claiming I’m fat. No history of missing weight. Not planning to, just be ready.”

In response, the lightweight champion of WBC replied with the following:

“Stop using your hands to push the fat down. It’s history of you changing weight days before [a scheduled fight].”
