Oscar De La Hoya announced that the anticipated boxing match between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia will now take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on April 20, moving from the previously announced Las Vegas location. The event, broadcast LIVE on DAZN worldwide, has stirred controversy with Haney citing Garcia's alleged disrespect towards his religion, Islam. Garcia refutes these claims, emphasizing respect for Haney's faith. Amidst their boxing feud, Garcia has expressed a strong interest in MMA, aiming for a fight against UFC's Sean O'Malley. Garcia believes he needs 3-4 months of MMA training to prepare and has confidently reached out to Dana White regarding the potential crossover. Additionally, Garcia has made bold statements about the significance of his fight with Haney, comparing it to Canelo's potential matchups, and has guaranteed victory over O'Malley in the UFC following his boxing match with Haney.
