Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia are two of boxing’s biggest young stars. The undefeated fighters have always been linked to a fight with each other. However, even though Garcia became Haney’s mandatory, this fight is still nowhere close as of now. 

Despite this, the fighters have met multiple times in the amateurs. According to Boxrec, the pair have met 4 times with ‘The Flash’ winning two and ‘The Dream’ winning two. Let’s take a look at the time when they traded blows on one such occasion.
