Former two-weight champ Devin Haney is again within the health club, 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 struggle with Ryan Garcia (and it’s an understatement to name the April struggle 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 broad choice win), Haney wants to point out us all in 2025 that he nonetheless has loads to supply the game.
Whether or not meaning a repeat or revenge second struggle with Garcia – Garcia suspended till the center of April as a result of scorching check that sadly tarnished “King Ry’s” knockdown-filled win, later a no-contest – we are able to solely guess. However this specific sequel, if promoted and hyped proper, could possibly be huge. Briefly, if each fighters can come to an settlement on what weight a second struggle takes place at, maybe the most important hurdle, this rematch looks as if an apparent one to make.
Haney was mad as hell even earlier than the struggle, as Garcia didn’t make weight, and he was even angrier after shedding, seeking to take authorized motion in opposition to Garcia. Nonetheless, as a result of change in the results of the April struggle, Haney, nonetheless the WBC champ at 140, determined to ditch the belt anyway. We are able to 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 could select the welterweight division. Possibly Haney might be prepared to fulfill Garcia at 147.
There are another massive struggle 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 point out us that he’s not broken items. A tune-up, rust-remover of a comeback struggle wouldn’t be a foul thought right here. But when Haney isn’t a performed fighter, if he can relocate the sort of type that noticed him rating massive wins over the likes of George Kambosos Jr (twice), Vasilily Lomachenko (this a detailed, debatable choice win) and Regis Prograis, who is aware of, possibly he can show to us all that “The Dream” is just not but over.
Some individuals imagine that Garcia’s return struggle completely should occur. At this level, it appears to be the most important struggle for each males.
Who wins, and the way can Garcia and Haney agree on phrases and struggle once more someday subsequent yr?
