Turki Alsheikh posted a photo of himself standing with Devin Haney and his father, Bill Haney, at a conference today. Haney is meeting with Turki to discuss the possibility of him fighting on a Riyadh season card.
Devin (31-0, 15 KOs) said he has received an invitation to fight with BLK Prime in March, but he wants to see what Turki has in store for him. It’s unclear how much money Haney is hoping to earn in what could be a tune-up fight to help him regain his confidence after losing to Ryan Garcia.
‘Level playing field’
Speaking to the media in London today, Haney talked about wanting to “fight the best” and said he just wanted a “level playing field.” He claimed he would “clean up the sport”. Much of the focus of Devin’s interview focused on him trying to whitewash his loss For Ryan, the blame lies with him being “duped” by him.

Well, if Turki provides Haney with a punching opponent for the next Riyadh season card, then the Ryan Garcia rematch will go up in smoke, just like Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Yo Shua’s “loser’s battle” is just as worthless. ‘Struggle. Ryan Garcia put Haney on the clock last April and knocked him out in 12 rounds.
If Turki provides Devin with one, everything will be fine canned tomatoes He has no strength and only a few marbles in his head. Haney can beat that kind of guy, but anyone else would put him at risk of getting knocked out again.
“Just because I got cheated in a fight, doesn’t mean I’m going to change my attitude. I still feel the same way. I still feel like I’m the best fighter in the world,” Devin Haney Haney said. media On Friday in London, he tried to cheer himself up by yelling rather than artificially fighting. “I think on a level playing field I can beat all these guys.
“I don’t have any news yet about my next opponent. We are looking for a few people, but His Excellency (Turki Al-Shiekh) called me to meet with him. That’s why I’m with him. We’ll see. Hopefully. We can gain something.
“It’s a possibility. BLK Prime offered me an opportunity in March. They offered me something, but now His Excellency has called a meeting for me to fight. So, while I’m here, we Will see if we can resolve some issues,” Haney said.
Looking for an easy fight?
If Turki wants Haney to fight a living man on one of his Riyadh cards, he’ll put the rematch with Garcia in a rut. Haney will fail and his career will be in vain. Haney can’t beat the top fighters at 135, 140 or 147.
If you put him against the top boxers in any weight class, he will lose. I mean, real top boxers, not George Kambosos or Regis Proglass. I’m talking about great boxers like Gervonta Davis, Jalen Ennis, Richardson Hitchens, Alberto Puelo and Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela hand.
Devin is still trying to use Ryan’s positive test for trace ostarine as the reason for his loss last April, but fans aren’t buying it. They saw Haney whipped, and they didn’t believe his Ostarin excuse.
They saw him get hit with a left hook all night and was saved by the referee in the seventh, with Garcia receiving a timely point deduction for hitting a breakaway. The points were deducted without prior warning to Ryan.
