When I reached out to Haney, they agreed instantly. When I reached out to Ryan, he said, 'Okay, let's do it.' He wanted to fight Haney. That's what boxing is all about, that's what Golden Boy is about – making the best fight the best.

We've brought together the best fighters of their era, and on April 20th, we will have the biggest event in boxing history," said De La Hoya.
