Ryan Garcia Says He’s Training For Devin Haney Rematch

Ryan Garcia says he’s training now to stay ready for when Devin Haney wants to face him in a rematch. Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) believes the rematch with Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) will remove any debate about who the better fighter is because he already beat him once.

Haney hasn’t said when he’ll return to the ring, but Garcia is the obvious target. The only big-money fight available for the former two-division world champion Haney wants is against Garcia. However, with the praise Devin’s dad, Bill Haney, did about YouTuber Jake Paul last week, it’s possible he could be looking to move Dev in that direction.

Bill was pouring compliments nonstop towards Jake, calling him the “face of boxing” and commenting about how he was bringing in the “cake.” That would be a big drop off for Haney to go from being a world champion to becoming a YouTuber type of fighter, but I guess you have to do something if things look bleak.

If Haney chooses to continue fighting real boxers, Ryan is his best chance to make a ton of money. There’s no one at 140 and 147 that Haney can fight to make similar money. Haney lacks the power to fight Terence Crawford or any of the big punchers at 154, and definitely, he couldn’t handle fighting any of the 160-pounders as well.

“We training every day. We got to be ready so when Devin Haney wants that fade again. We already beat his a** one time. If we do it twice, no debating anymore. I beat his a** like he stole something,” said Ryan Garcia to Cool Kicks, saying he’s training for when Devin Haney faces him in a rematch next.

“The weigh-in and the day of the fight, he was a pound heavier than me. So there’s no excuse. He also took 1.5 million dollars because I missed weight. Once you take the money, shut the f*** up. He’s a Diddy man. Whatever. I don’t know. Ask Devin. He was at his crib. He said, ‘There’s no party like a Diddy party. I guess we know that for sure now. It’s a fact. Him and his daddy,” said Garcia when asked what’s up with Diddy.
