Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney are about to square off against each other in less than 12 hours. Will Devin Haney be able to put a stop to Garcia’s newfound personality? After a chaotic weigh-in, Garcia brought an advantage for himself by being 3 pounds heavier than his opponent. As a result, Garcia isn’t eligible to hold the WBC belt on his shoulders anymore even if he manages to win against Devin Haney today. Does that make the event less exciting? Not if Garcia has any say in it.
Since Garcia came in and weighed 143.2 lbs, both parties had to sit down and devise a way to make the fight happen. Garcia even had to pay off Devin Haney for losing the bet they made during their event presser. But that doesn’t matter much to Garcia as per one of his tweets. He’s loaded, as he says. That is perhaps the reason he is looking to make an entry unlike anyone else during the fight tonight. In fact, now the fans wonder which artist will be accompanying KingRy during his walkout. Can fans expect Kanye West tonight?

Before a boxer is in the center of the ring in his stance with gloves up on his face, he tries to make a mark through his entrance. There are many boxers whose entrances are as iconic as their fight. Coming into this list are Canelo Alvarez, Tyson Fury, and Deontay Wilder among many other greats. Also, other great artists have been invited to perform their live walkout music, this has been done by Terence Crawford, Gervonta Davis, and even the star-in-question, Ryan Garcia.
So who did Garcia invite? The legendary rapper, Lupe Fiasco, in his previous fight against Oscar Duarte. Garcia donned a blue robe, that had ‘Heart of Fire’ written on its back, and greeted the rapper before walking out to the ring. Fiasco was the only one who accompanied the boxer to the ring, while performing his superhit music, ‘Superstar’. Interestingly, this song was also recently used by Sean O’Malley in his walkout at the UFC 299 main event on 9th March.
This is an interesting fact since there’s somewhat of a feud ongoing between O’Malley and Garcia for a crossover UFC fight. So, this could also be a subtle jab at Garcia even or it could just be a coincidence. Who can say? Garcia’s walkout in one of his biggest fights against Gervonta Davis isn’t also something that can be forgotten.
What song did Ryan Garcia walk out to in his fight against Gervonta Davis?
Back in April 2023, the fans were excited to witness the much-awaited fight between the two lightweight stars Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis. Even though it wasn’t a title fight, it still became one of the most important fights last year. Right before any of the stars entered the ring, amidst all the cheers and ruckus, fans were caught off guard by the worship music getting played out of nowhere. Well, it was Ryan Garcia’s walkout music.
Even though his opponent later followed him with the famous rap song ‘Love Sosa’ by Chief Keef, Garcia’s choice was definitely surprising. He walked out to Hillsong UNITED’s ‘Oceans (Where Feet May Fall)’. Garcia has always been vocal about his faith in Christianity, and how it has always refrained him from getting distracted off his true path.
But the fans are interested in the clash about to take place tonight. How will Ryan Garcia make his entrance and set the theme for the main event?

Ryan Garcia and Kanye West could be seen together on the fight night, at least that’s what ‘KingRy’ confirmed. At first, Garcia claimed that ‘Ye’ declined his offer to walk him out due to one of his posts that stated ‘No Diddy’. So, after West’s decline, Garcia went on a tirade against the rapper in a series of now-deleted tweets.
Garcia was talking about the post when he offered 50 Cent to walk him out through X, where he wrote, “@50cent would be awesome if you walked out with me 4-20. No diddy. Let’s do this!!!!” However, 50 Cent didn’t respond, which left Garcia in a lurch. Things did not stay the same. Only a week later, out of the blue, Garcia wrote, “Kanye walking me out. You heard it here first/ Big money let’s go.”
Now it is to be noted that this could very well be another one of his erratic posts without much substance in it. Much recently, during the weigh-in, Garcia walked out with a beer bottle in his hands while he was being measured on the scale. He even chugged it. To Ariel Helwani, who asked him what he was drinking, he even replied, “I was drinking a nice a** beer. That shit was fire.”

However, later in his tweets, Garcia clearly mentioned that it was just apple and cranberry juice. So, this very well could just be another one of his random posts. But you never know. Maybe chances are we may get to see Kanye West rock at Barclays Center during Garcia’s ring walk.
So, the only way to find out for sure is for fans to tune in for the event at 11 p.m. ET. Do you believe Garcia’s claim about Kanye West? Will we see him there tonight? Tell us what you think in the comments below!
