Devin Haney has blown his likelihood for a rematch with Ryan Garcia by suing him, and if he doesn’t retire, he may have restricted choices for his subsequent battle.
The massive paydays that Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) needs aren’t there with out him avenging his loss to Ryan, and that chance has gone out the window now along with his choice to provoke a lawsuit towards him. He must avenge his loss, however he can now not try this as a result of his choice to sue.
Earlier than the lawsuit, Garcia had expressed curiosity in giving Haney a rematch to let him get the prospect for a get-back, however not anymore. On social media final night time, Ryan shut down the opportunity of Haney getting a profitable rematch towards him by saying it’s not taking place as a result of his lawsuit.
Haney’s market worth seems to have dropped, as we noticed with the low purse bid of $2.24 million for his title protection towards his WBC gentle welterweight necessary Sandor Martin.
Devin selected to not comply with that battle as a result of minuscule bid gained by Prime Rank, and he was made ‘Champion in recess’ with the WBC.
If Haney chooses to proceed his profession, he’ll possible have to maneuver as much as welterweight as a result of he’s too huge to compete within the 140-lb division. His disastrous efficiency towards Ryan on April twentieth could have partially resulted from weight drain.
For fighters like Haney, who repeatedly drop large quantities of weight to compete in a division nicely under their measurement, one thing ultimately has to offer.
Haney’s Choices at 147
– Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis
– Mario Barrios
– Brian Norman Jr.
– Conor Benn
– Eimantas Stanionis
These are all robust fights for Haney and ones that he may lose. It wouldn’t be sensible for Haney to tangle with Boots as a result of that might be a step too far for him. If promoter Eddie Hearn is desirous about paying Haney nicely to battle Conor Benn, that might be a wonderful battle for him and a winnable one.
Benn’s Superman energy has disappeared in his final two fights, and he now appears to be like the mortal he was earlier than his sudden rise a number of years in the past. Haney would have a superb likelihood of beating Benn if Hearn is prepared to pay huge cash to make it occur. Hearn would possibly wish to save Benn for Chris Eubank Jr. as a result of that match will ultimately be a giant one within the UK.
