In a much-anticipated showdown, Devin Haney is gearing up for the first defense of his 140-pound title. Renowned for his lightning-quick hands, Garcia engaged in a  super-fight against Gervonta Davis in April, drawing over 1 million PPV buys and raking in more than $22 million at the gate.

Later, he showcased his prowess at 140+ pounds weight class, delivering a decisive eighth-round KO of Oscar Duarte in December. Now, Garcia is poised for his first shot at a world title in the upcoming bout against Haney. Not only that, a boxing community account on X posed a question about the fight, stating, “Wait is [Haney-Garcia] a PPV? It doesn’t really say it on the flyer but it gotta be, right?“
