Ryan Garcia's win over Devin Haney was an instant classic, and boxing great Shawn Porter is already salivating over talks of a rematch ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks the Dream can get revenge the second time around!!

Garcia (24-1) beat Haney (31-1) and shocked a ton of fight fans by winning via majority decision on Saturday ... making it the latter's first professional loss of his career.

Porter gave us some insight into what Haney should do next ... and in the immediate future, he believes it's best the pugilist take a vacation and ignore the critics on social media.

Adrien Broner says Devin Haney needs him now more than ever -- after suffering the first loss of his career on Saturday -- with AB challenging the 31-1 boxer to a fight!

34-year-old Broner, 35-4, made a video addressing 25-year-old Haney after Saturday's fight at Barclays in Brooklyn ... one of the most shocking upsets of the year.

"I know everybody waiting on my reaction, but I'mma just tell the truth," Broner said in an Instagram video.

Ryan Garcia scored a major upset over boxing champion Devin Haney, knocking him on his ass THREE TIMES during the dramatic bout.

Garcia stood toe-to-toe with Haney -- the WBC junior lightweight title holder -- Saturday night at Brooklyn's Barclay's Center. The two went the distance, pulverizing each other for 12 grueling rounds.

In the end, Garcia snagged the majority decision, and, deservedly so, after he repeatedly dropped Haney to the canvas with powerful blows.

Ryan Garcia is not taking the Devin Haney fight seriously ... and because of that, the 24-1 boxer will suffer the 2nd loss of his career -- at least that's the way fellow star fighter Shakur Stevenson sees it!

Stevenson, 21-0, joined Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1) ahead of the Haney vs. Garcia fight on Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn ... and we asked Shakur for his thoughts.

"I kinda think [Ryan's] not focused. I don't think that he's really taking the fight serious," Stevenson said.

Andy Ruiz's ex has won her court battle with the star boxer ... TMZ Sports has learned a judge granted her a permanent restraining order earlier this month against the former heavyweight champ.

Julia Lemus had been seeking the order of protection since April 2023 ... after she alleged Ruiz sexually assaulted, abused, and terrorized her throughout their relationship.

In her application for the order, Lemus -- who began seeing Ruiz around 2016 -- said the 34-year-old would often grab and yank her to move her wherever he wanted her to go. She also claimed he would "jokingly" punch her in her arms and legs, leaving her with bruises.

Ryan Garcia's three pounds overweight, but his pockets are certainly lighter on Friday -- the boxing star just shelled out $1.5 MILLION to Devin Haney after fulfilling his weigh-in bet.

Garcia placed the wager during the final press conference for their April 20th fight ... saying he would cough up $500K for every pound he's over the junior welterweight limit of 140.

Haney, (31-0) and Garcia (24-1), shook on it ... and even though Ry looked confident, his team was clearly concerned.

Micah Parsons is used to putting the hurt on quarterbacks, but it was the Dallas Cowboys star who was in a world of pain recently -- taking body shots from pro boxer AJ Graham!!

The 24-year-old linebacker was with the undefeated featherweight fighter this week at TMack Elite Training in Texas ... testing out the combat sport as part of his offseason workout routine.

At one point, Parsons and Graham ditched the punching bags for their own human bodies ... trading vicious blows until one of them backed out.

Ryan Garcia will live up to his King Ry moniker Saturday night in NYC ... 'cause the star boxer commissioned an insane iced-out crown -- with over 15,000 diamonds -- that he plans to wear as he walks to the ring!

TMZ Sports has learned celeb jeweler The Ice Champ is the man behind the royal piece ... making the crown for Garcia's highly anticipated boxing match with rival Devin Haney on Saturday night at Barclay's in Brooklyn.

"He was like 'let's create something where the champ of the boxing world and the champ of the jewelry world connect and make something unique,'" Ice Champ said. "We created a unique crown."

Bill Haney says it's time for Ryan Garcia to pay for all he's said ... and the trainer/dad of undefeated superstar boxer Devin Haney says his kid is going into the ring with one thing on his mind -- execute King Ry!

TMZ Sports talked to Bill just days before the hugely anticipated scrap where we chopped it up about all things Haney-Garcia, including whether pops thinks Ryan is struggling with his mental health, to how he believes the fight will turn out.

"It's absolutely an act," Bill said of Ryan's recent actions, before making it clear Team Haney wouldn't be distracted.

"We're not at the least bit taken back by the antics. If he can fool us, he can beat us, and we're nobody's fool. I think that's what he can do," Bill said.

"You try to give us the illusion that you're not focused, that you're not serious about the fight. To give us, you know, just that little bit to slow us down. But I'm telling you, we're motivated. New York City has motivated us!"

On the fight, it doesn't sound like Devin plans on showing any mercy to the 25-year-old, 24-1 boxing star.

"To all my parents, put your kids to bed or be careful of what they see. Because on the 20th, Devin is being sent in there to kill Ryan Garcia," Bill told us.

Haney then delivered another warning.

"If you go against the United States of America, it's treason," Haney said, "And, if he was to go against a religion, it would be blasphemy. To go against Devin the Dream, it's an execution, and it will be carried out on April the 20th at [Barclays]."

We also talked to Bill about his unwavering dedication to 25-year-old Devin ... and how his role has changed over the years as his undefeated (31-0) boxer son rose through the ranks.

"The first part of my life was protecting him. The second part was teaching him. Now I'm in that friendship stage. So it's a give and take. I give him my honest opinion, but it's all him. I'm telling you, when he found boxing and boxing found him, it was a marriage made in heaven."

The Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia super fight goes down on DAZN in just three days ... and Bill sent one last message.

Logan Paul and Nina Agdal don't know their baby's gender just yet, but it's clear the WWE Superstar is hoping for a girl ... gushing over the possibility and saying, "I'm just gonna melt."

The Maverick opened up on his impending fatherhood during his "Impaulsive" podcast this week ... and he couldn't help but get excited over the huge milestone.

Paul explained his life will change forever once they welcome the kid to the world ... 'cause, for the first time, he won't be prioritizing himself -- it's all gonna be about his partner and the new family they created together.

Logan said he's wanted to be a dad for a long time ... but hadn't met the right person until the Sports Illustrated model came along.

"It's like a feeling that I can't even comprehend right now, especially if it looks anything like Nina," Logan said of the baby on the way. "Like, I love Nina so much, and then this little version of her that's also half me, that is going to be my entire life?"

Logan also praised his fiancée ... saying she's been handling the pregnancy extremely well and is going to be an incredible mother.

"I can't wait to find out the gender," he added.

Devin Haney couldn't wait 'til Saturday to put his hands on Ryan Garcia ... 'cause the undefeated boxer shoved his opponent in the face during a heated showdown at the Empire State Building.

Haney shared the footage on his Instagram ... showing him trash-talking back and forth with a shirtless Garcia at their face-off for the April 20 fight at the Barclays Center.

Garcia (24-1) was clearly fired up ... calling Haney a "bitch" several times before Devin lost his cool and shoved Ryan hard in the face.

The push caused Garcia to stumble backward ... but he claims to not have been fazed one bit.

"I told you I ate that," Garcia said on the X app after the incident. "SCRUMPTIOUS I WANT MORE!"

Thankfully, that's all that happened between the two -- after all, the guys are getting paid to duke it out for real in just a matter of days.

Some fans believe the altercation between Haney (31-0) and Garcia was legit ... while others think it was all staged to promote the fight.

But, Haney's dad and trainer, Bill, said it was real ... and personal.

"He disrespected boxing," pops said after the quarrel. "This ain't no game! I'm sending my son to go kill him!"

As for Garcia, he also continued his bizarre social media antics ... claiming Haney's shove should be considered a hate crime, as he now identifies as a woman and a member of the LGBTQ community.

Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam are madly in love with one another, and they want the world to know it -- sharing mushy notes about each other on their one-year anniversary Friday!

The two just threw up the posts on their social media pages minutes ago ... and, yeah, they're gooey.

Leerdam shared a video of the two dancing and getting close. Paul, meanwhile, put up a collage of romantic photos.

Lennox Lewis says he's relieved the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul clash will not be a sanctioned bout ... saying this weekend if it were one, he'd be worried for Paul's safety.

Lewis spoke about the upcoming superfight while out at the CSA sports memorabilia show on Sunday in Chantilly, Virginia ... and he made it clear, Paul should thank his lucky stars the guys will fight under exhibition rules.

Of course, punches will still be thrown when the two step in the ring -- but under non-sanctioned regulations, it's not expected to be nearly as competitive as it would've been if it were the opposite.

And, Lewis obviously believes that's going to save Paul a lot of headaches down the road.

"I would feel really bad for Jake Paul," Lewis said. "I don't want him to get hurt."

Regardless, Lewis says he's pumped for the fight ... saying it should be a good bout -- an opinion that Canelo Alvarez does not share.

You'll recall, the boxing superstar told TMZ Sports last month he doesn't necessarily think it'll be good for the sport.

Mike Tyson isn't slated to fight Jake Paul for another couple months, but he's clearly ready to step in the ring right now -- check out the bod he showed off during an autograph session over the weekend ... he looks gooooooood!!

Iron Mike ditched his shirt while attending a Fiterman Sports Group meet-and-greet event with fight fans on Sunday in Chantilly, Virginia ... showing off a chiseled physique that was complete with a set of six-pack abs.

Tyson explained at the show that he lost his top on purpose ... in order to send a message to those who are doubting him ahead of his July matchup with The Problem Child.

The Rock cooked up some beef during the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, but it wasn't with a fellow wrestler ... instead, he got into it with a WWE fan.

Dwayne Johnson attended Friday night's ceremony in Philadelphia to pay tribute to his late grandmother Lia Maivia -- a wrestling promoter -- who earned a spot in the WWE HOF.

While walking off a platform, a fan appears to yell something at DJ ... who stops on a dime and walks over to the barricade for a convo.

La Roca cocinó un poco de bronca durante la ceremonia del Salón de la Fama de la WWE, pero no fue con un compañero de la lucha, sino que con un fan de la WWE.

Dwayne Johnson asistió a la ceremonia del viernes por la noche en Filadelfia para rendir homenaje a su difunta abuela Lia Maivia, una promotora de la lucha libre que se ganó un lugar en el Salón de la Fama de WWE.

Mientras salía de una plataforma, parece que un fan le gritó algo que lo hizo detenerse y acercarse al público para un cara a cara.
