The two American stars have history.

Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia will get the chance to reignite their rivalry in the professional ranks later this year. 

It was announced earlier this month that two of American boxing's biggest names will meet on April 20 in Las Vegas, which will be Haney's first defence of his WBC world super lightweight title. 

For Haney and Garcia, April's contest will be the seventh time they have gone head-to-head inside the ring after six meetings as amateurs. 

In an interview with Jack Alter, Garcia reflected on his amateur meetings with Haney and claimed that his victories over the WBC super lightweight champion were more impressive. 

“He’s weak when he gets touched. He remembers what I did to him," Garcia said. 

"I barely know what he did. He doesn’t even hit hard. He won by points, when I won he got f—d up. There’s a difference.

"When I hit him, I had his a—s rocked many times.”
