A backup opponent is ready to face Devin Haney, a 25-year old from the United States, in case Ryan Garcia is knocked off the horse he rode into his news conference on Thursday.
Garcia has demanded that the fight be moved from New York to Las Vegas in recent days. The 25-year-old has also made records of his usage of marijuana and alcohol. Because of Garcia’s actions, WBC super lightweight champion Haney joked that the mysterious fighter would even announce his retirement before the bout.
