Devin Haney will defend his WBC belt against Ryan Garcia in an all-American fight this weekend. The two will fight in a super lightweight bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, United States.
The Dream, unbeaten across his professional career to date, will face off against the challenger as he looks to extend his record, in what will be the first defense of his title since taking it against Regis Prograis after he moved up a division last December.
