“Devin Haney a Beast” – Ryan Garcia Makes a Bold Statement

WBC silver lightweight champion Ryan Garcia and WBC World lightweight champion Devin Haney have been collated with each other throughout their respective careers.

Even before turning into pro, they have shared a heated rivalry in their amateur run, squaring off a couple of times. However, Garcia and Haney are still to face each other on a pro-level and have been touted to do so for a long period now.

That said, Garcia will face Luke Campbell next and a matchup with Haney is still off the charts. Yet, the ‘Golden Boy’ prodigy has all the respect for his American rival. At least, that’s what he expressed on social media.

Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney – Are they on the same scale?

Since becoming professionals, Garcia and Haney have been unbeaten in their respective journeys. Garcia (20-0) and Haney (24-0) are also word champions at this point.

Thus they are bound to be put side by side by the fans and experts. While the duo has often spat venom at each other, Garcia newly shocked the fans by offering some praise for ‘The Dream’.

He clearly called Haney a “beast” on Twitter. Garcia also hailed him to be a similar breed, which has further intensified the inevitable comparison between them.

Earlier this year, Ryan Garcia and Haney had hinted at a possible fight between them by sharing a verbal beef inside the ring. After defending his title against Francisco Fonseca, Garcia ignited the call-out.

Haney was present in the arena and he didn’t hesitate to enter the ring. Following a heated conversation, the duo was separated. However, the fantasy matchup raised a lot of eyebrows that night.

If Garcia beats Luke Campbell next, he can possibly bag the matchup against Haney. If not, it would take a bit longer, but they are bound to encounter each other at some point.

Considering their competition at the amateur level, a pro-level fight would have a lot more in store. As the matchup continues to thrill the fans, Haney and Garcia will seemingly keep up their opinions of each other via social media.
