Ryan Garcia says Devin Haney fight is 'way more personal' than bout vs. Gervonta Davis
Watch Haney vs. Garcia live on DAZN
Ryan Garcia's loss last year to Gervonta "Tank" Davis followed weeks of banter between the two fighters that sometimes seemed to cross a line.
Yet Garcia says his upcoming fight against Devin Haney is "way more personal" than the April 2023 bout against Davis.
Speaking to the DAZN Boxing Show, Garcia explained why his fight against the WBC world super lightweight champion hits closer to home than his showdown with "Tank."
"I just don't like people like them," Garcia said of Haney. "They're fake, they're phony, they have no substance to them.
"Even the way he boxes, it's like he has no substance. No anything behind it, no weight. He's fake diamonds.
"How could you tell the difference between a real diamond and a fake diamond or fake gold and real gold? The weight.
"They're fake, a hundred percent. Phonies."
