Former two-weight champ Devin Haney is again within the fitness center, or, because the attachment to the social media message informs us, Haney is again within the lab. Not seen in a hoop since his vastly controversial April battle with Ryan Garcia (and it’s an understatement to name the April battle that was held in New York vastly contentious, what with all of the aspect tales that went together with an over-the-weight Garcia’s vast resolution win), Haney wants to indicate us all in 2025 that he nonetheless has quite a bit to supply the game.
Whether or not which means a repeat or revenge second battle with Garcia – Garcia suspended till the center of April because of the sizzling take a look at that sadly tarnished “King Ry’s” knockdown-filled win, later a no-contest – we will solely guess. However this specific sequel, if promoted and hyped proper, might be large. Briefly, if each fighters can come to an settlement on what weight a second battle takes place at, maybe the most important hurdle, this rematch looks like an apparent one to make.
Haney was mad as hell even earlier than the battle, as Garcia didn’t make weight, and he was even angrier after dropping, seeking to take authorized motion towards Garcia. Nonetheless, because of the change in the results of the April battle, Haney, nonetheless the WBC champ at 140, determined to ditch the belt anyway. We will solely surmise at what weight Haney will field when he returns his ring.
Garcia, who noticed a deliberate December exhibition in Japan disintegrate, is weighing who is aware of what proper now. Nonetheless, upon returning to motion, Garcia might select the welterweight division. Possibly Haney will likely be prepared to satisfy Garcia at 147.
There are another massive battle prospects on the market for Haney, who remains to be solely 26 years of age and is at the moment unbeaten at 31-0-1 no contest (15), however Haney has to indicate us that he’s not broken items. A tune-up, rust-remover of a comeback battle wouldn’t be a foul thought right here. But when Haney isn’t a achieved fighter, if he can relocate the form of kind that noticed him rating massive wins over the likes of George Kambosos Jr (twice), Vasilily Lomachenko (this a detailed, debatable resolution win) and Regis Prograis, who is aware of, possibly he can show to us all that “The Dream” just isn’t but over.
Some folks imagine that Garcia’s return battle completely should occur. At this level, it appears to be the most important battle for each males.
Who wins, and the way can Garcia and Haney agree on phrases and battle once more someday subsequent 12 months?
