Former undisputed lightweight champion and current WBC Super Lightweight Champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) hosted a Los Angeles Media Workout to promote his upcoming title defense against “King” Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs). The fight night is presented in association with Haney Promotions, KingRy Promotions, and Matchroom Boxing. The mega-event will take place on Saturday, April 20, exclusively live on DAZN around the world and DAZN PPV in the US.
DEVIN HANEY, CURRENT WBC SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION:
“Camp has been amazing. I’m in the zone – always. I’m obviously getting more adjusted to this new weight class – I am getting stronger, my mind is clear, I’m in the best shape physically, and I am just ready to go.”
“Not having to go down the extra five pounds has been a tremendous help for me. I had been at 135 for a long time. At 140, it just feels so different. My performance against Regis Prograis showed that.”
“At the end of the day, Ryan Garcia is going to say what he is going to say. No matter what, I am going to do my job to be the very best Devin Haney I can be. Whichever version of Ryan shows up on April 20, I will be ready for him. Ryan Garcia is just another opponent to me. I am in competition with greatness. That is why I train so hard, that is why I stay so disciplined.”
“KING” RYAN GARCIA, INTERNATIONAL PPV STAR AND SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT CONTENDER:
“I’m feeling good. I’m on track to make weight – I was at around146 yesterday and we’re continuing to train hard like we always do.”
“The interpretations of other people – that’s on them. I know I am training hard. I am feeling great, looking good in the gym, people just need to look at the facts. I don’t regret anything I said or did in the lead up to this fight. I’m just ready to kick a** on April 20. I know I can say a lot, but I know I need to show it.”
“You won’t hear from any trainer out there that I don’t train hard. To me, it’s very disrespectful to dismiss all the hard work I have done since I was a young boy coming up. I have been training since I was seven-years-old. It’s a slap in the face to all the work me and my family did.”
“It’s going to be light work for me. I am going to cook Devin Haney. Just another day in the office. Devin is not on my level and he will never be on my level.”
