The pair meet later this year.

There is set to be a huge fight in the US on April 20 when Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia go head-to-head live on DAZN

Haney will be making the first defence of his WBC super lightweight after beating Regis Prograis last year to become a two-weight world champion after conquering the 135lb division. 

For Garcia, this will be the second super fight of his career after facing Gervonta Davis last April. Davis would go on to beat Garcia with a seventh-round knockout which led to some branding the 25-year-old a 'quitter'. 

When speaking to DAZN, Haney also supported these claims and believes Garcia will not be able to last the full 12 rounds when they meet in April. 

"We’ve seen Ryan quit before, and I think this won’t be anything different," Haney said. 

"I think he will quit on April 20."
