Ryan Garcia’s Upset Victory Over Devin Haney; Missed Weight Limit and WBC Title Ineligibility

The boxing world was left in awe as Ryan Garcia secured a stunning upset over Devin Haney at the Barclays Center. Despite missing the light-welterweight limit, Garcia put on an impressive performance, knocking Haney down three times on his way to a majority decision victory.

Garcia’s victory was tainted by the fact that he was not eligible to win the WBC title due to missing weight, but his dominant performance in the ring spoke for itself. With this win, Garcia improved his record to 25 wins out of 26 bouts, bouncing back from his only professional defeat to Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.

In his post-fight interview, Garcia dismissed the doubts surrounding his mental state leading up to the fight, stating, “You guys overegg everything.” Meanwhile, Haney expressed his disappointment with his performance but called for a rematch, asserting that he is still the champion since Garcia missed weight.

The intense battle between Garcia and Haney captured the attention of boxing fans worldwide, setting the stage for a potential rematch in the future. Meanwhile, boxing enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the upcoming Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office on May 18.
