Garcia vs Haney LIVE: Latest fight updates, start time and results

Haney’s story is simple: He has been sublime. Garcia’s journey, however, has been much messier, and now it is getting murky.

Still, Garcia rightly received credit for testing himself against a fearsome puncher while at a tender age, and there are those who observe the same merit in Garcia challenging Haney. Others believe that Garcia, who is yet to hold a world title in an era when they are abundant, would have been wiser to fight Rolly Romero for one of Haney’s old belts – and to use that gold as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Haney down the line.

(Then again, there was nothing savvy about Garcia vowing to pay Haney $500,000 for each pound that he was overweight – with Garcia now owing Haney $1.5m, which Haney says his opponent has honoured.)

There are fears in the boxing community that Ryan Garcia could get badly hurt when he fights Devin Haney this evening. There are fears that he is already hurting.

In Brooklyn tonight, Garcia and Haney will resume a rivalry that dates back to their amateur careers – a time when there was little to separate the Americans as they went 3-3 across six bouts. Yet as they prepare to meet in the professional ranks as 25-year-olds, nine years on from their last tilt, it feels as though they could not be further apart.

Haney vs Garcia is set to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The main card is due to begin at 1am BST on Sunday 21 April (5pm PT / 7pm CT / 8pm ET on Saturday), with main-event ring walks expected at around 4am BST on Sunday (8pm PT / 10pm CT / 11pm ET on Saturday).

That belt was due to be defended tonight, but Garcia’s three-pound weight miss has made him ineligible to win the gold. Per a bet made by Garcia, the would-be challenger must also pay Haney $500,000 for each pound overweight.
