Devin Haney says a rematch with Ryan Garcia is his top priority in 2025. He believes he will prevail on a “level playing field.” He mentioned it multiple times during Saturday’s interview, sounding like a broken record.
A rematch is inevitable
Haney clearly sees a rematch with Garcia as his top priority because he needs it, and here’s why:
- This is the biggest payday
- Re-establishing his credibility as a fighter: This may be a short-term thing, as Haney has problems anytime he fights someone with powers.
- Keeping his career going: Again, this is a short-term thing. The Devon is clearly a sinking ship and can only stay above water for a limited time with the help of Turki, as we saw with Deontay Wilder. If Haney continues to lose, Sheikh won’t keep throwing life preservers at him to prevent his career from sinking.
Former two-division world champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) is still on the PED card and used it as a reason for losing to Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) last April in Brooklyn, New York. Excuse.
He probably won’t stop talking about it, and he might pollute Prepare for a rematch between them and use it to rebuild his credibility with the fans who abandoned him.
If Devin keeps bringing up Ryan’s positive test against Ostarin in every interview and uses it as his misleading promotional tool, the hype for the Haney-Garcia 2 rematch will be ugly. Hopefully Haney doesn’t stoop to that level, thinking fans will think that’s why he was blown out of the water by Ryan last April. They won’t.
Adjustment
Hani said he met with Turki al-Sheikh in London and developed a “plan” for 2025. Devin is expected to compete with weak opponent March and then face Garcia in the rematch.
However, there’s a risk if Turki picks someone who’s a little too good for Haney, because if the fighter has any power at all, he could get knocked out or look bad. If Turki insists on having Haney join Living Body, it could be career-ending for him as they will finish what Garcia started.
Devin’s fighting style includes lots of thrusts, frequent clinching, and movement. His fights with George Kambosos Jr. and Regis Prograis showcased Haney’s fighting style. The way Haney fought those two was just his style, not very interesting to watch but effective against opponents of that caliber.
Priority for rematch
“We don’t know. Your Excellency Turki has a plan for me and you have to stay tuned,” Devin Haney told reporters. step on the ground When asked who he will fight next in 2025. “In 2025, these fights (Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez) have to happen. I think they’re going to happen, and like I said, I’m excited for 2025.
“Ryan Garcia,” Haney said when asked about his preference for a fight in 2025. “There’s a question mark over that game. It’s unfinished business. We’re on a clean playing field, on a level playing field; we know that,” Haney said when asked how the rematch with Ryan would play out. I will prevail. “
“There’s no bad blood with Eddie (Hearn). If he gets the chance and we can work together, then it will happen. If not, I thank Eddie for everything he’s done for me. He’s set me up position. He gave me a chance right out of the gate and I’m very grateful for that,” Haney said.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn’s past fights for Haney have been against these fighters:
– George Kambosos Jr.: 2022
– Joseph Diaz Jr.: 2021
– Jorge Linares: 2021
