Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney came face-to-face officially during the kick-off press conference in New York’s Palladium Times Square. None of the antics that fans and followers saw at the Super Bowl Radio Row were on display. Nevertheless, the meeting turned out to be as heated as could be expected. Later, ‘KingRy’ spoke to a few reporters.

They might have been interested in the upcoming bout on April 20. However, some of the media personnel seemed keen to know the young boxer’s views on another tentative mega-clash. Per the available accounts, Gervonta Davis (now Abdul Wahid) and Frank Martin have reportedly agreed to fight. The duo will purportedly duke it out for the latter’s WBA lightweight championship, most possibly by the second quarter of the year.

One of the reporters asked, “Have you sparred Frank Martin?” Garcia replied, “No.” The reporter continued. On the one hand, both he and Martin underwent training together in Derrick James‘ stable. But then, on the other hand, he has had the chance to fight the Baltimorean as well. Hence, “But you trained alongside him and obviously you and obviously you’ve been in the ring with Gervonta. Who are you taking in that fight, man?” The reporter asked.

‘KingRy’ responded, “I’m going to I’m going to go with Frank because I’m going to be there every step of the way and put him on game like this is what he likes to do, this is what he will do bo boom.” Though, subsequently, he sounded unsure when the reporter wanted to know whether he believed Frank Martin would be able to force an early stoppage on ‘Tank.

The reporters were initially curious to know about Ryan Garcia’s views on Gervonta Davis (now Abdul Wahid) not pursuing a fight with Devin Haney from a boxing perspective. The former interim lightweight title holder replied that the reason he felt this was because ‘Tank’ is more of a ‘business-oriented fighter’.

Unite for a Fight

Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney will fight for the latter’s WBC light welterweight title. The talks for a match between the two ignited soon after ‘KingRy’ stopped Oscar Duarte in his comeback fight. In the beginning, it seemed that the bout was a done deal. However, talks broke down with Garcia picking Rolando ‘Rollie’ Romero over Haney. It’s a different fact; even that fight never came to fruition.

Later in January, after passing over Jose Ramirez and Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz‘s names, talks with Team Haney resumed. But unlike last time, the deal sailed through, much to the relief of millions of fans who wanted to see the duo fight. Instead of the earlier-decided Las Vegas, the fight will now take place in the ‘Big Apple’s famed Barclays Center.
