Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney finally faced off in their much-anticipated fight. The fight promo was overshadowed by Garcia’s unpredictable behavior and controversial statements. Before the fight, fans were uncertain about Garcia’s mental state when facing Haney. However, all the speculation and doubt were swept away the moment the bell rang on Saturday night. In a thrilling fight, Garcia showcased his trademark speed, dominating Haney and knocking him down three times in the later rounds. Ultimately, Garcia emerged victorious by majority decision, providing an electrifying spectacle for the fans.
The fight lived up to the ridiculous promotion between Garcia and Haney. Garcia was on a tear on social media, calling out the likes of Kanye and throwing spicy accusations at Drake and Bobbi Althoff. Garcia was being doubted in the matchup mostly due to his outlandish behavior. Now, it seems like everything was part of the plan. Garcia has now admitted that much of his pre-fight antics were just him trolling. Ryan’s mission in the lead-up to his blockbuster fight with Devin Haney was to troll as much as possible, and he succeeded.
Ryan Garcia admits that his antics were all part of his master plan. The erratic behavior and constant controversy were in the works for months. Garcia said that he told his team months ago that he is going to make everyone believe he had lost his mind. He succeeded in the trolling and won the fight. Everything went as planned for Garcia, who can now get back to some semblance of normal behavior after his big win. He said he was committed to his plan and “wouldn’t budge for nobody.” He said it didn’t matter what show or podcast he was on because he was going to put on a show.
Ryan Garcia won the first battle against Devin Haney. Hopefully, there will be a rematch in the near future. Haney will want to bounce back from the embarrassing defeat. As the bets cashed in, Garcia reportedly bet on himself to win, netting $10 million. Ryana Garcia is now back on track after losing to Gervonta “Tank” Davis. We can’t wait to see who his next opponent is.
Rick Ross was among the most recent guests on the Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, and he took a risk in trying to make a joke about the host’s past appearance. Moreover, when he saw a photo of a young 20-year-old Tyson, he couldn’t help but make a joke about his hairline. “It’s a beautiful picture…How old were you?” The Biggest Boss asked the boxing legend. “That n***a that cut your hair ain’t give you no blend.” This resulted in laughs from the people around them, and Mike cracked a smile and said, “I hear you.” However, Ross cleared the air and said that he loves it, so it’s either some backtracking or some tough love that acknowledges some missteps.
Furthermore, this was a particularly special episode of Hotboxin‘ because it was what many fans probably hoped it wouldn’t be: its last. Furthermore, it seems like Mike Tyson’s convo with Rick Ross puts things at least at a pause as he prepares for his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. A lot of folks are very excited to see how this match-up pans out, whether or not they think that Tyson will be able to beat the YouTube provocateur. We’ll all have to wait until July 20 to find out.
Mike Tyson & Rick Ross Chop It Up On Hotboxin‘: Watch
The haircut joke appears at around the 44:15-minute mark of the video above.
Elsewhere, Rick Ross is very much occupied with a showdown of his own, although this is more about trading bars than blows. He and Drake had a big falling out as a result of all the drama and disses that have emerged from Future and Metro Boomin’s WE [STILL] DON’T TRUST YOU albums. While things probably won’t reemerge on wax for a while, they are two social media trolls who will likely continue to send potshots at each other. Things are a bit more quiet right now, but we’re sure that they won’t stay this way forever.
Meanwhile, Tyson is training hard for his Jake Paul fight, which will be a big moment for pop culture at large. Maybe if Paul launches a jab at his old haircut this time around, he won’t be as forgiving as he was to Rozay. Who do you have coming out on top in either head-to-head? Let us know in the comments and stay posted on HNHH for more on Mike Tyson and Rick Ross.
Ryan Garcia called out 21 Savage on Twitter following his win over Devin Haney in their fight for the WBC Super Lightweight Title. The Atlanta rapper had walked out with Haney for the bout. “This proves 21 ain’t no savage,” Garcia wrote. Despite the win, he was ineligible to take Haney’s title after weighing in at 143.2 pounds Friday for the 140-pound contest.
Regardless of the ineligibility, Garcia was elated after the win. “I don’t give a f— what people say about me. I walked through the fire and still held it down and still beat f—ing Devin Haney and still drink every day,” he said, as noted by ESPN. “Not necessarily am I proud of that, but I’m just saying it was a statement to show you, you guys can’t really f— with me.”

He also complained about the refereeing during the match. “It was a horrible ref,” he added. “[Haney] was holding me for dear life, and I felt an opportunity to keep swinging while my hands were free and I cracked him. And then he took a point away when I cracked him, but [Haney] held me and then I should have knocked him out in that seventh round. They stole that from me. … And Devin was holding and holding and holding. … That was ridiculous. That was crazy. I never seen some s— like that.” Check out his message for 21 Savage below.
As for 21 Savage, he’s had a huge month. Last week, TIME Magazine named him one of the “Most Influential People” for 2024. Be on the lookout for further updates on Ryan Garcia on HotNewHipHop.
Ryan Garcia seems to have been successful in hyping up his Devin Haney fight last night (Saturday, April 20), because it resulted in a big upset. Garcia beat the WBC junior lightweight title holder by majority decision after 12 rounds at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, knocking him down to the ground thrice throughout. The first was with a left hook to the head in the seventh round, and two more in the tenth and eleventh rounds, respectively. However, Haney still has his title, since his opponent did not make weight before the match-up. Still, it was a pretty exciting match that its losing competitor reflected on via Twitter in the wee hours of Sunday (April 21).
“Alhamdulillah Allah is the perfect planner he makes no mistakes..” Devin Haney expressed on the social media platform. “Fought like a true champion. Got up off the canvas & kept fighting. I am 100% ok & would love to do it again while we both make weight. I have no broken anything btw way like i said im Ok. Same way you dish be able to take it.. I will be back InshaAllah.”
Of course, this battle followed a lot of antics and social media firestorms mostly caused by Ryan Garcia’s unabashed and often bizarre claims and takes. For example, he recently claimed that Drake slept with Bobbi Althoff, thus causing her divorce and resulting in the odd falling-out that they seemed to have online following their interview, and none of this has been confirmed. As for Devin Haney, he mostly stayed out of these things although he’s no stranger to public scrutiny. Still, when compared to Garcia’s antics and his relentless addresses of any other topic besides boxing, it seems like his composure wasn’t enough to cinch the victory.
Meanwhile, with no lost title here, perhaps the San Francisco native will feel even more pressured to defend it next time, as this loss could have a big impact. Or maybe he will instead have to look elsewhere for inspiration, as we don’t really know how he interprets this loss. Is the technicality comforting or does it add insult to injury? Either way, we’ll see what goes down between these two contentious titans in the near future. For more news on Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, stick around on HNHH.
Ryan Garcia faces off against Devin Haney for the WBC junior welterweight title. Garcia and Haney’s rivalry goes back to when the two fighters were amateurs. So, this title fight has been going on for a long time, especially for Garcia. This will be his first opportunity at an official title in his career, so it’s safe to say this is an important fight. Devin Haney is undefeated in his career. Haney won the belt in his first fight after moving up in weight class, defeating Regis Prograis for the title. The fight going down in the Barclays Center this weekend has all the makings for a good show.
Ryan Garcia has been trying hard to sell this fight. His behavior has been erratic, and many fans are asking if the fighter is even mentally fit to be fighting. Garcia’s antics have definitely brought eyes to the fight, and even through controversy or outlandish statements, the attention is probably what matters most. He has fired shots at Kanye West for refusing to walk him after Garcia’s “No Diddy” tweets. Garcia also made some bold claims about Bobbi Althoff and Drake, which caused even more drama. Now, the social media circus is finally going to hit the ring, and Garcia will be iced out when entering the arena.
Ryan Garcia will rock a diamond crown from celeb jeweler The Ice Champ. The Jeweler made the crown specifically for Garcia’s major boxing match with rival Devin Haney on Saturday night. The crown will feature 15k VVS-clarity diamonds and 27 sky-blue topaz stones that will match Garcia’s fighting gear. Clearly, Garcia might be winning the ring walk out against Haney. We will have to see what haney has up his sleeve. It’s probably Garcia’s most important fight of his career, and he is putting it all out there.
All in all, Garcia isn’t a stranger to taking risks. He is taking this fight against an undefeated Haney after last year taking on Gervonta “Tank” Davis. This is a big chance for Garcia to earn an official title for the first time in his career. Hopefully, the fight will live up to all the outside noise and drama. in any case, Garcia will certainly steal the show when he walks in with his iced-out crown.
Coi Leray is someone who has been making waves as of late. Overall, she is easily one of the biggest artists from a virality perspective. Her songs always seem to do well on TikTok, where her sound truly thrives. Furthermore, she has upped the thirst trap content on her social media pages, which has led to lots of discussions about her on platforms like Twitter. Consequently, when she goes live on Instagram, you can be sure that a whole plethora of people are going to want to tune into that.
That was the case yesterday as Leray was on live, engaging with her fans. During the stream, boxer Adrien Broner slid into the comments and continuously attempted to shoot his shot at Leray. She then told him that he was being corny, and it was all pretty harsh. The exchange ended up going viral on social media, with fans admonishing Leray for being too mean. She was certainly within her right to be annoyed, although the internet can be a wild place, and were swift about demanding some sort of apology.
Well, as you can see in the tweet above, that apology has been delivered. “Wasn’t trying to be harsh however I hope he wins his fight and many more,” Leray wrote. It was a nice gesture, especially since the original clip had become so viral, and quite frankly, embarrassing for Broner. Only time will tell if he can get things on track and win his fight, which is going to be a huge stepping stone for his career.
Let us know what you thought of the Coi Leray and Adrien Broner situation, in the comments section down below. Did she really need to apologize for this? Were fans being a bit too sensitive about how she ended up reacting? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Ryan Garcia is set to fight Devin Haney for the WBC super lightweight championship belt on April. 20th. Garcia held the WBC interim lightweight belt in 2021. Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney have a long history, dating back to when the two were amateurs. They faced off a total of six times as amateurs, each winning three fights. Their highly anticipated fight will be the first time the two stars will face off as pros. Haney is undefeated, and Ryan Garcia aims to collect his first official title as a pro. Something is off with Ryan Garcia’s promo despite the importance of the fight.
Ryan Garcia has been active on social media in the lead-up to probably the most important fight of his life. He has been firing off shots at the likes of Kanye West and making bold claims after being snubbed. Most recently, Garcia levied some major accusations against Drake and Bobbi Althoff. Fans have noticed his erratic behavior and are curious whether he is trying to sell this fight or if something else is up.
Watching the Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney interview clip with no context, you would probably think it’s a comedy bit. The funniest part is Haney’s reaction to Garcia’s antics, which is the perfect time. Comedians work really hard for moments like this, and it came naturally to two guys about to meet in a boxing ring. Haney says he doesn’t know if Ryan Garcia is taking the fight seriously. Maybe it’s just a way to sell the fight even more. It could be that Garcia is playing character, positioning himself for whatever the fight’s result is.
The clip is just another example of Garcia becoming the topic of discussion for something outside the ring. We won’t know until the fight if any of his extracurricular activities translated into more eyes on his upcoming fight. Nevertheless, the clip also contributes to the idea that Garcia may not be in a good headspace. Acting erratically before your life’s most crucial boxing match is undoubtedly a choice, so it may indicate other things going on.
When you’ve been labeled one of the greatest of all time, it means your portfolio is stacked with incredible feats. In boxing, no conversation about the best of the best without including Mike Tyson. The indomitable champion remains one of the most ruthless fighters in the ring. While he’s long since stayed out of the ropes, Mike Tyson is set to make a return against Jake Paul this July.
Tyson’s career is marked by several highs and lows: from his meteoric rise to becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in history to serving time in prison and making a killer comeback. However, in the ring, it’s been a treat for fans of the sport and the rest of the world at large. With so many iconic moments, some have left a mark in boxing history. Very few boxers could stun a crowd quite like Mike Tyson, and the following moments are proof.
7. Mike Tyson’s Controversial Post-Prison Bout Against Orlin Norris (1999)
#OnThisDay in 1999, Mike Tyson fought a 1 round No Contest with Orlin Norris in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tyson hit Norris clearly after the bell, and Norris fell in a way that apparently injured his knee and rendered him unable to continue. pic.twitter.com/KTDYmLwU0C
The bout between Mike Tyson and Orlin Norris on October 23, 1999, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, was a controversial one. Tyson, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, entered the ring with a 46–3 record. He faced Norris, a former WBA Cruiserweight champion with a 50–5 record. The match was Tyson’s second fight following a comeback after serving time in prison from 1992 to 1995.
Despite the anticipation generated ahead of the match, it ended abruptly and contentiously. After the first round bell, Tyson landed a punch that knocked Norris down, injuring his knee. This was despite his looking calm and in control throughout the round. Regardless, the blow, deemed a foul since it was delivered after the round had ended, resulted in the match being stopped and declared a no-contest before the second round could begin. The aftermath was expectedly chaotic, with debates over Tyson’s intent and the possibility that Norris might have lied about the injury. For people who believed Tyson had intentionally landed the post-bell punch, this incident added another layer of infamy to Tyson’s career.
6. The Aggressive Defeat Of Larry Holmes (1988)
In the winter of 1988, on January 22nd, Mike Tyson, the then-reigning heavyweight champion, faced off against Larry Holmes, a former champion staging a comeback. The bout, held at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, was billed as “Heavyweight History.” By this time, Tyson was already known for his aggressive style and ferocity. He was at the peak of his career with a 32-0 record, including 28 knockouts. Holmes, on the other hand, was from a different time in boxing history. Nicknamed “The Easton Assassin,” he was a seasoned fighter with a 48-2 record and a formidable jab that humbled the great Muhammad Ali in 1980.
The fight was a clash between Tyson’s raw, youthful aggression against Holmes’ experienced, technical prowess. The winner was clear very quickly. Even as Holmes countered him perfectly, none of it seemed to matter, as Tyson hammered him with powerful combinations almost immediately after they entered the ring. In the fourth round, he delivered a devastating right hook that dropped Holmes for a third time. This led the referee to stop the fight and award Tyson the victory by technical knockout.
5. Mike Tyson Makes History Against Trevor Berbick (1986)
On the night of November 22, 1986, a young Mike Tyson, barely out of his teens and already a force to be reckoned with, stepped into the ring against Trevor Berbick. Tyson, freshly trained and brimming with confidence, already had a head-turning 27-0 record, with 25 knockouts. That year alone, he had demolished his opponents in a 12-0 run. That night at the Las Vegas Hilton, 20-year-old Tyson was dressed in his (now) signature black trunks and shoes, draped with a simple white towel, ready to show the world the making of a legend.
Meanwhile, Trevor Berbick was the recently crowned WBC heavyweight champion. He had earned his title through grit and experience, notably defeating Muhammad Ali in the legend’s final fight and edging out Pinklon Thomas by a narrow points decision. However, the stage was set for a changing of the guard. The fight was swift and decisive. Tyson, a whirlwind of power and aggression, overwhelmed Berbick, who found himself outmatched and outclassed. The second-round technical knockout was a statement: Tyson was not just a contender but a champion. He became the youngest heavyweight title holder in history. All it took was 2 minutes 35 seconds.
4. The 91-Second Match Against Michael Spinks (1988)
Mike Tyson vs. Michael Spinks. Two undefeated heavyweight champions. This is the whole fight, by the way, because Mike was efficient.
The Tyson v. Spinks battle took place on June 27, 1988, at the Convention Hall in Atlantic City. Dubbed “Once and For All” by promoters, it marks one of the most petrifying Tyson matches of all time. Michael Spinks, nicknamed “Jinx,” held a 31-0 record with 21 knockouts. He was a lineal champion that conquered legends like Larry Holmes. Meanwhile, at the time, Tyson was the youngest heavyweight champion ever, and was a wrecking ball with a 34-0 record with 30 knockouts. He was also a very humble WBA, WBC, and IBF title holder. Everyone was hankering to see this match of legends.
By the time the bell rang, Tyson charged into the ring like a bull and pulled off the impossible. Within 91 seconds, Spinks was down and out on the canvas. People were dumbfounded, and some were even annoyed. Like a cherry on the cake, the 91-second match would become the richest fight in boxing history, grossing an astounding $70 million, of which Tyson earned a record purse of around $22 million and Spinks won $13.5 million.
3. Lennox Lewis Asserts His Dominance In The Ring (2002)
On June 8, 2002, Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis faced off at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis. The fight was a significant heavyweight title match, with Lewis defending his WBC, IBF, IBO, and The Ring titles against Tyson. It would be Tyson’s final chance to reclaim the world title, and he was so hungry for it. In fact, the match had to be moved to Memphis after Tyson was denied a license in Nevada due to a press conference brawl between him and Lewis in NYC.
There was a thick cloud of tension in the air when the match began. In the opening round, Tyson’s left hook quickly found its mark, but Lewis countered with powerful combinations, one of which opened a cut above Tyson’s right eye. He then continued to seize control, raining devastating blows until the seventh round. In the eighth, a visibly tired Tyson hit the canvas, struggling to rise after a heavy right cross from Lewis. At some point in the match, the great Iron Mike Tyson retreated to the corners and screamed, “I’m in pain!” By the eighth round, Lewis’s dominance was clear. At the 2:25 mark, the referee called it, and Tyson was knocked out.
2. Mike Tyson’s First-Ever Loss Against Buster Douglas (1990)
On February 11, 1990, the Tokyo Dome bore witness to one of the most jaw-dropping occurrences in the boxing world. Mike Tyson, the five-year undefeated and undisputed heavyweight champion, stepped into the ring against James “Buster” Douglas. Specifically, Douglas was a 42:1 record holder who was an underdog, especially compared to Tyson. Although the odds were stacked against Douglas, fate had other plans.
Tyson, known for his ferocious power, was expected to dispatch Douglas swiftly, much like his portfolio showed. However, the fight unfolded differently. Tyson managed to knock Douglas out for 13 seconds in the eighth round, but that was not enough to stop his opponent. Standing at 6 ft 4, Douglas used his reach advantage to keep Tyson at bay. In the tenth round, against all odds, Douglas unleashed a combination that sent Tyson crashing to the canvas. The referee counted, and the impossible had happened: Tyson was knocked out.
1. The Infamous “Bite Fight” Against Evander Holyfield (1997)
Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield II is a fight that remains etched in boxing history forever. The rematch took place on June 28, 1997, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada. Holyfield, the defending WBA Heavyweight Champion, had shocked Tyson seven months earlier with an 11th-round knockout. Importantly, this fight coincided with Tyson’s post-prison era, when he was quite emotionally strained. All this meant that the lead-up to the fight made it one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year.
When D-day came, Holyfield managed to dominate Tyson in the earlier rounds. Tyson, frustrated by a headbutt from Holyfield that caused a large cut under his right eye, aggressively sought to retaliate. And so, in the third round, right as the two grappled in the ring, Tyson bit off over an inch of Holyfield’s right ear and spat it out. The fight resumed, but it only lasted for a while because Tyson also bit Holyfield’s left ear.
Tyson was disqualified from the match and lost his boxing license, although it was later reinstated. An employee working at the MGM Arena picked up the detached ear, placed it on ice, and was transported to a hospital for reattachment. Holyfield and his trainer, Tim Hallmark, would later reveal that the detached ear was lost in the ambulance. As a result, Holyfield still wears the scars to this day, as the cartilage never grew back.
The “Bite Fight” has been one of the most referenced events in mainstream boxing history. It remains a defining trait of Mike Tyson’s public persona. For example, in 2022 Tyson’s company Tyson 2.0 launched “Mike Bites,” a line of marijuana-infused ear-shaped gummies…with part of the ear missing. However, without a doubt, it’s the most infamous boxing match in history.
Dillon Danis had a lot of beef with Logan Paul and Nina Agdal. However, that feud was months ago at this point. Overall, it started in the lead-up to Danis’ fight against Paul. The entire time, Danis just kept slut-shaming Agdal, in an attempt to rattle Logan. In the end, it didn’t work for Danis as he got destroyed in the fight. It was a pathetic showing that made fans turn on him. Since that time, he has remained fairly quiet as it pertains to the couple. After all, people don’t exactly want him to talk in such a rude way about someone who crushed him in the ring.
Well, today, Logan and Nina delivered some massive news to their fans. They revealed that they have a child on the way. Overall, this is great news for the couple, and they seem incredibly excited about all of this. However, Danis couldn’t let this news break without interjecting himself into all of it and making a joke at Logan’s expense. In a photoshopped image of himself and Agdal, Danis wrote “that might be my kid.”
Unfortunately, for Danis, what he is selling ain’t being bought anymore. Fans in the comments section over on DJ Akademiks’ page were not amused. And why would they be? Danis got destroyed by Logan Paul and if they got back in the ring, the same thing would occur. At this point, Danis is better off just sitting this one out, for all of eternity. It would save him a whole lot of embarrassment.
Let us know what you think of what Dillon Danis had to say, in the comments section down below. Should Dillon leave them alone at this point? Did his loss to Logan make these kinds of comments hit way less hard? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Ryan Garcia has been acting erratically on social media as of late. Overall, fans are very concerned about his behavior. There have been situations where it seemed like he may even die. Meanwhile, there have been other instances where he has beefed with Diddy, Kanye West, and a plethora of others. Although some people think it is promo for his upcoming fight, others are very worried. He won’t stop tweeting, and when he does tweet, it isn’t innocent. Sometimes, he is even making some pretty heavy allegations against people.
For instance, Garcia recently took to Twitter where he tried to expose Bobbi Althoff, whom he recently did an interview with. As you can see down below, Garcia claimed that Althoff had sex with Drake, which subsequently led to her divorce. Overall, this is a rumor that has existed for a while. Ever since her bedroom interview with Drake, people have assumed that she and Drizzy hooked up. She has denied this to be the case, but Garcia couldn’t help but claim the contrary.
Furthermore, Garcia came out and made the claim that he kissed Althoff. He even leaked texts from her, although they are all innocent texts in which she attempts to set up an interview. Needless to say, Garcia is for the drama right now. Although it seems like this is because he is not in a sound state of mind. Whatever the case may be, Garcia is causing controversy online, and it has people intrigued about his next match, which goes down on Saturday, April 20th.
Let us know what you think of the Ryan Garcia situation, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that he is in a sound state of mind right now? Should he still fight Devin Haney given everything that has been said as of late? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.
