Haney: "Garcia is an alcoholic."

WBC bantamweight champion American Devin Haney has spoken out about his compatriot Ryan Garcia, whom he is expected to fight on April 20 in New York.

"I don't know why he's trying to distract everyone from the fight. Talk about the fight. He talks about things he hardly understands. I know he's an alcoholic. The guy drinks. And when he's drunk, he goes on the air and talks trash.

Whatever Ryan is going to do, whether he's faking it or not, it's not going to change what I'm going to do to him. I'm going to execute my fight plan no matter what. He can play all the games he wants, but it's not going to help him," Boxing Social quoted Haney as saying.
