Almost a year ago, Garcia put on an amazing performance at the Barclays Center in New York. He knocked Haney down several times and won by majority decision. It was a huge upset that no one saw coming.
But things got messy after the fight. Garcia tested positive for Ostarine. He got suspended for a year and had to pay a fine of over $1 million. Now, both fighters want to prove themselves again.
Saudi negotiator Turki Alalshikh confirmed the rematch. Before the big showdown, Haney and Garcia will have warm-up fights in May, likely on the same card.
Shawn Porter, a former two-time welterweight world champion, thinks Haney will win the rematch. He said:
"And that's what you do with rematches. You find everything you did wrong, you know it instantly after the fight's over. You come back and you right your wrongs. I do believe that it's a rematch that he will win."
Haney, 26, from San Francisco, used to hold the WBC super lightweight title. He's known as "The Dream" in the ring. His rival, also 26, goes by the nickname "King Ry".
The rivalry between these two has been full of drama over the past year. Now, they're both eager to settle the score once and for all.
