Confident, focused, and he means business. Devin Haney (31-0) has a clear agenda: to put in hard work in the training and brush aside Ryan Garcia (24-1) when the day comes. Therefore, when he uploaded a clip of him hitting a punching bag, the fans went into a frenzy.

Notably, ‘The Dream’ and ‘KingRy’ will slug it out on April 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the WBC super lightweight strap. Despite being headlined by two superstars of modern boxing, Garcia’s social media antics and concerns over his mental health have overshadowed the fight. Haney, on the other hand, has quietly shed sweat in the gym. His technical prowess was on display when he hit a punching bag in a brief training video.

Haney, 25, turned to his Instagram handle and shared a clip of his swift footwork and combinations as he unloaded a flurry of punches on a punching bag. In addition, his steady head movement and the shifting of weight for transition also caught the eye. This might spell trouble for his opponent, who relied on psychological warfare for a while.

The WBC champion had then suggested not to pay heed to Garcia, as he dismissed the latter’s shenanigans as attention-grabbing tactics. However, the fans, after watching Haney hit a punching bag, believe his technical skills and boxing prowess might have pushed Garcia to take a different route to gain some advantage.
