Boxing News: Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney Targeted for March 2024, Potential Venue Revealed

Roughly two weeks after his thunderous victory over Oscar Duarte, an upbeat Ryan Garcia sounded off the war bugle. Devin Haney confirmed hearing it loud and clear. If it comes unscathed through the tough alleys of negotiations, then, without a doubt, the Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney fight will be one of the biggest fights.

Now serving as a fillip to the feature, Oscar De La Hoya shared new updates. Ryan Garcia is on the comeback trail. Last year began with a career-first loss to Gervonta Davis. But by year-end, he turned the tables on all the doubters and knocked out Duarte in the eighth round of their bout. Devin Haney, on the other hand, leaves behind a standout year. It saw him not only cross over the ‘Loma’ challenge but also defeat Regis Prograis in a new division.

He asked, “What’s what’s your thoughts on um the whole Ryan Garcia versus Devon Haney negotiations? Is it getting closer or just kind of how’s it um looking just for the fight fans?” De La Hoya replied that he had received the mandate from Ryan Garcia that he wanted a fight with Devin Haney.

So in his view, the fight between the two is going to be fantastic, especially after how ‘The Dream’ came off at the top of his game. Oscar De La Hoya said, “So I think Ryan Garcia versus Haney, that’s the fight to make, um, I’ve already talked to his people to Haney’s people, and uh, we’re going to get this done hopefully uh sooner than later.”

Finally, Villegas checked whether Las Vegas would be hosting Garcia and Haney for their square-off. Oscar De La Hoya replied, “Absolutely…absolutely.”
