Promoter Oscar De La Hoya has flat-out rejected Devin Haney’s request for a rematch with Ryan Garcia, telling him, “There’ll NOT be a rematch.”
That’s received to harm Haney, who wants the combat with Ryan (25-1, 20 KOs) to redeem himself after being thrashed in a combat that resembled a bloodbath from the seventh spherical on. Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) was knocked down six instances within the combat, and completely humiliated by Ryan.
De La Hoya Delivers the Knockout Blow
Oscar let Haney have the unhealthy information on his Instagram website, telling him, “Good luck with Eddie [Hearn], however there won’t be a rematch. Good luck in your profession and good luck with Eddie, a European promoter attempting to make it within the US,”
There it’s. No rematch for Ianey, and he’ll now want to maneuver on and make a title protection of his tarnished WBC mild welterweight title that he’s nonetheless clinging to, due to Ryan lacking weight.
Haney wanted the referee to save lots of him from being knocked out within the seventh along with his handy level deduction of Ryan Garcia for hitting him on the break.
What’s a Bruised Champ to Do?
With the doubtless profitable rematch with Ryan not a chance, Haney is caught having to defend towards his WBC obligatory challenger, Sandor Martin. This combat received’t promote on DAZN PPV, and it’s one which he may lose. No person cares about it, and neither do I.
Martin spells bother for Haney, and he must provide you with a method to keep away from this man earlier than he ends what’s left of his profession.
Ryan has already urged a approach out for Haney of his powerful predicament: vacating his WBC mild welterweight title to keep away from Sandor Martin and giving him his belt.
Clearly, Ryan doesn’t need the title as a result of the very last thing he wants is to have the WBC cost him a stiff sanctioning payment for a strap he has no intention of defending. However Ryan is correct about Haney needing to trash his WBC mild welterweight title as a result of he can make more cash combating with out the belt towards standard fighters at 140, 135, or 147.
That WBC belt is like useless weight for Haney, and he must eliminate it so he avoids combating Sandor Martin in a low-paying combat and doubtlessly shedding.
