The incident between the two happened only several hours after their championship bout was confirmed. It occurred at an NFL press event. A push from Garcia got Haney and his entourage, which also consisted of his father, hot under the collar, thus making the tension rise.
Garcia later took to X to post clips and ridiculed Haney for “hiding behind his father.” He even took to Instagram to post certain clips with ridiculing captions:
“Ran up on Devin and he crumbled. STOP LETTING YOUR DAD PIMP YOU! 4-20 it’s go time! See you on the press tour P**sy. Exposed how soft you really are!!! I’m crushing you. Daddy Bill Almost cried. He will cry in the fight.
Part 2 where we get lil bill mad 😭😭 Devin your dad can’t fight for you. HAHAHAHAH that was actually funny. Bill almost had a heart attack. Let the young guns go at it.”
This is a classic bit of promotion from two stars who know the power of social media very well. Garcia was rumored to fight other matches too, but finally his bout was settled with Haney. However, the incident has caused tensions to rise between the pair, keeping us all in anticipation of what is about to come.
Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney head-to-head record in amateur boxing
Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney went head-to-head, toe-to-toe, before in amateur boxing as we have videos of their bouts. They have known each other for a decade and have been rumored to have locked horns six times before, each winning three times.
In his second outing in the unpaid ranks, Haney allegedly dropped a decision on Garcia. However, “The Dream” would avenge that loss at the U.S. National Junior Championships in 2014, also by decision.
In 2020, Haney told Chris Mannix that Garcia didn’t score any victories over him. “I beat him every time,” he said. “Don’t believe anything he says.”
The hype between the pair is ramping up, with other people chiming in with their opinions too. This highly anticipated match is set to turn eyes and heads and grab all our attention. So, who will you be supporting?
