In just a few moments, 2 division world champion, Devin Haney, will undertake another important fight of his career. While it won’t be his title defence, thanks to Ryan Garcia not making the weight, it will still be crucial given a loss on his unbeaten record could be devastating. As he gets into the mood to inflict some damage on ‘KingRy’, visuals from his dressing room have gone viral.

While Garcia gets noticed for his goofy antics backstage, ‘The Dream’ was seen jamming in his private concert-esque session with rappers, Ferg and Joey Bada$$. Haney dressed in a t-shirt that spelt out his moniker loud and clear and a casual Essentials’ shorts, laid the premise for his clash with Ry. DAZN, the official PPV partner for the Golden Boy fight posted the video on their X feed.

While the fight could potentially go either way, it is in its nature, a clash between two fighters of different schools of thought. While Ry is more of a natural, in-the-moment, fighter, Haney comes with a sterling background in boxing training. He has mastered the arts of precision cuts and impeccable defence. However, these visuals have nudged fans to assume the worst regarding his fight with Garcia.
