Devin Haynie said today that the rematch between him and Ryan Garcia is the “biggest fight” in boxing. He wants it to happen in 2025, provided it is included “a level playing field.”.”
Haney-Garcia is a big fight, but certainly not the “biggest” in the sport because their previous fight was a mismatch. Ryan beat up Hannay, putting him on the canvas three times. Devin looked human yo-yowith the number of hits to the deck in that fight, which is six times, not three.
The referee gave Hannay a break by awarding three additional knockdowns as slips when he continued to collapse to the canvas after being badly hurt by Garcia in the seventh.
Former two-division world champion Hani is in London today to meet Turki Al Shieh to see if he has a better deal than the one he received from BLK Prime to fight on their network in March. If Turki’s offer is no better than BLK Prime’s, it is unclear whether Hanei will continue to buy.
Level playing field
Hanney (31-0, 15 KOs) still blames his loss to Ryan last April on being dirty with Ostarine in his system. The fans don’t believe it, but Haney mentions it rather than admit defeat. That would be better on Devin’s part.
Still, it would be a bitter pill for him to swallow to openly admit that Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) was too powerful and talented to stay on his feet in their fight on April 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. York.
“The biggest fight,” Devin Haney said Boxing Newstalking about the rematch between him and Ryan Garcia being the “biggest” fight in the sport. “It has to be clean.” That’s the only way a rematch can happen, but it’s a fight I’d like to fight in 2025. Maybe we can make it work, but I just want to be on an even playing field.
“I am here to meet with His Excellency Turki Al-Shieh to try to reach an agreement.” If not, I have a deal with BLK Prime, who are willing to give me what I want. We can go that way. “I’m here for a reason and we can make it happen,” Haney said.
