Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) did a media workout in Dallas, Texas Tuesday, 11 days away from his clash against former undisputed lightweight champion and current WBC Super Lightweight Champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (31-0, 15 KOs).

Ryan Garcia is challenging for the WBC title in a bout scheduled for 12-rounds.

The fights are presented in association with Haney Promotions, KingRy Promotions, and Matchroom Boxing.

The event will take place on Saturday, April 20, live on DAZN.

Some Ryan Garcia quotes:

“I'm feeling good. I'm on track to make weight – I was at around 146 yesterday and we're continuing to train hard like we always do.”

“The interpretations of other people – that's on them. I know I am training hard. I am feeling great, looking good in the gym, people just need to look at the facts.

Ryan Garcia had set tongues wagging with some of his actions…

…and behavior….

Ryan Garcia admitted he smokes weed

This has been an interesting promotion. Garcia admitted he drinks and smokes weed, but denied he does coke, for the record

…in this buildup.

Well, the Ryan Garcia body looks pretty good, for what it’s worth. He was asked about some of his colorful doings on X.

“I don't regret anything I said or did in the lead up to this fight. I'm just ready to kick ass on April 20. I know I can say a lot, but I know I need to show it.”

“You won't hear from any trainer out there that I don't train hard. To me, it's very disrespectful to dismiss all the hard work I have done since I was a young boy coming up.

“I have been training since I was seven-years-old. It's a slap in the face to all the work me and my family did.

“It's going to be light work for me. I am going to cook Devin Haney. Just another day in the office. Devin is not on my level and he will never be on my level.”
