The main event is scheduled to begin around 11:45 p.m. ET on DAZN and PPV.com pay-per-view. Check out our Haney vs. Garcia results page to find out what happened on the undercard.

Haney (31-0, 15 knockouts) is making his first appearance this year after earning unanimous decision victories over Regis Prograis and Vasiliy Lomachenko in 2023.

We're just moments away from Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia finally entering the ring.

Garcia made an incredibly dramatic entrance that matched his bizarre behavior leading up to fight night. His performance begins with a clip from Jesus leaves by Kanye West. Again, fitting for anyone who's been keeping up with his recent escapades. The music goes over to El Rey by Vicente Fernandez. He takes off an incredibly expensive looking crown before stepping through the ropes.

Now it's time for Devin Haney's performance. He holds the WBC super lightweight title, which is no longer at stake after Garcia lost three pounds in weight. He's after it Redrum by 21 Savage. And after all the talk, this fight is actually happening.

Take it away, Joe Martinez!
