Devin Haney – A Perfect Fight Record Comes To An End
Ryan Garcia shattered Devin Haney’s perfect 31-0 pro-boxing record
Until April 2024 Haney had fought 31 fights in his pro career, racking up 31 wins (including 15 knockouts) with zero losses or draws – until his fight with Ryan Garcia – who scored three knockdowns of Haney and handed the WBC super lightweight champion the first defeat of his pro-boxing career.
On Saturday, April 20th 2024 Haney fought Ryan Garcia at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York for the World Boxing Council (WBC) super lightweight title. Garcia didn’t make weight – weighing in at 143.2lbs, 3.2lbs above the division limit – so the fight was downgraded to a non-title bout.
In a majority decision upset, Garcia dropped Haney in the seventh, 10th and 11th rounds to win a majority decision victory by scores of 115-109, 114-110 and 112-112.
