Haney: "The Only Time It Really Hurt"

Ahead of his WBC super lightweight title defense against Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs), Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) recalled the opponent with the most powerful punch he's faced.

"I don't know, that's a good question. I need more time to think about it. Maybe Jorge Linares.

I have to say Linares because that was the only time it really hurt. So yes, it's Linares," said Haney.

Devin Haney and Jorge Linares (47-9, 29 KOs) met in May 2021. Devin won by unanimous decision. The fight between Haney and Ryan Garcia will take place on April 20th in New York, USA.
