Devin Harney and Ryan Garcia complete the pre-race weighing ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, USA, today. However, compared to Ryan Garcia, who was almost crazy at the weighing ceremony, Devin Haney showed surprisingly calm.
At a press conference after the weighing ceremony, Devin Haney explained why he was not in a good mood. He said he would dedicate tomorrow's race to his late grandmother.
Devin Haney's grandmother, Renee Jana, died at the age of 73 at the end of March this year, battling cancer in the final years of her life.
Sunday's match against Ryan Garcia will be Devin Haney's first match since the death of his grandmother, and according to Devin Haney, his entire training camp was spent in grief because Devin Haney's grandmother, Renee Jana's physical condition deteriorated dramatically within a month.
In fact, Grandma Devin Haney's physical condition began to deteriorate back in December last year, but after seeing Devin Haney defeat Régis Progres to claim the WBC Super Lightweight World Title, Grandma Devin Haney seemed to be back to life again.
Devin Harney's coach and agent, as well as his father, Bill Harney, was interviewed by reporters after the weighing ceremony. "We will dedicate this race to my mother, I know Devin Hani will not make mistakes in the race and now he will get another kind of strength in the race because his grandmother is watching from heaven, may Allah willing, we will win and dedicate this victory to her," he said. ”
"Each tragedy brings us closer. I'm going to turn sadness into motivation and bring it into this game. We'll celebrate together at the end of the game, trust me. Devin Haney told reporters at the scene.
Devin Harney and Ryan Garcia are both 25 years old, and the two can be said to have grown up with each other together. During their time in amateur boxing, they faced each other six times, winning three fights each.
However, after entering the professional boxing ring, Devin Haney can be said to have far surpassed Ryan Garcia, and his professional record is 31 wins. In 2022, Devin Haney completed the unification in the lightweight division, taking the WBC, IBF, WBA, WBO lightweight world boxing championship belts all in his arms. Last year, Devin Haney defeated Vasily Lomachenko and Regis Progres to establish himself as a world champion in both the lightweight and ultra-lightweight divisions.
Despite his good results, Devin Haney's style of play has been unpleasant, and he has always relied on movement, dodging and running to beat his opponents in the Circle, so his knockout rate has not been high.
