RYAN GARCIA will face rival Devin Haney in New York tonight!
Both fighters were set to fight for Haney’s WBC 140-pound belt, but the strap will no longer be on the line after Garcia weighed in at 143.2 pounds on Friday.
Garcia and Haney fought six times as amateurs, but their big showdown in ‘Game 7’ will have the highest stakes of all.
Garcia’s wait for the world title will continue, having came out against Gervonta Davis in his first title fight last year.
The 25-year-old has demonstrated bizarre behavior in the lead-up to his fight with Haney, however, with some fans calling for the fight to be called off altogether.

What was said?
Garcia said, “For me, it’s in some ways personal,” Garcia said,
“I don’t know, something is inside me and I just… I don’t even feel like answering these questions bro, I’m sorry.
“I don’t give a shit about your boxing skills. “I’m going to beat him, that’s it!
“I’m not a boxing analyst. Forget this guy! He’ll understand, 4/20, that’s it!”
Haney said: “I don’t think Ryan has improved much since the amateurs.
“Ryan fights the same way. Obviously, he’s gotten bigger and stronger, but it’s the same thing,” Haney said. “I think he’s a one-trick pony.”
