Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia, both youthful sensations in the boxing realm, stand at contrasting points within the sport's landscape. Haney, a formidable force in the ring, holds a solid position as one of boxing's elite pound-for-pound fighters, a status reinforced by ESPN ranking him at No. 6. Despite his tender age of 25, he has already clinched the undisputed lightweight championship, showcasing his prowess with a thrilling win over Vasiliy Lomachenko in May. In a remarkable display of versatility, Haney transitioned to the 140-pound division in December, securing a dominant victory over former champion Regis Prograis. Now, with an unblemished record of 31-0 with 15 knockouts, Haney is poised to further elevate his star status with a defense of his junior welterweight title against Garcia on April 20 in Brooklyn, New York. On the other hand, Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) has carved a niche for himself as one of boxing's most alluring draws. His clash with Gervonta Davis last April was a spectacle, despite Garcia tasting defeat after being dropped twice and ultimately knocked out by a Davis body shot in the seventh round. The event, however, was a commercial triumph, reportedly amassing over 1.1 million pay-per-view buys and raking in more than $22 million at the gate.
