Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney II… quickly arriving at a hoop near you?!
Perhaps in response to Haney’s prosecutor Eddie Hearn …who counts TMZ Sports Activities he hopes the two young stars can fight once again.
“I hope so,” Hearn, one of boxing’s most influential and powerful promoters, told us when we asked if Ryan and Devin could run it again.
However, Hearn also understands that Garcia is the man in charge now.
“I feel like Ryan is in a fantastic place. He is a huge star. He will decide the fights he likes and needs.”
Ryan won the battle by majority determination, taking down Haney Three times during the battle (this is the first time Devin was knocked down)…but Garcia weighed more than 3 pounds. above the 140 pound restriction, and it’s clear that EH believes this was a bonus.
“However, (Ryan) was chubby. , we desire the opportunity to place it in a perfect playing location.”
“Ryan was a big star before. And with this win, he will take a look at the right fights for him and make more money. So hopefully it can contain a Devin Haney rematch. However, Devin is still world champion. And we’ll see what happens.”
FYI, Haney, although he lost (the first time in his career), retained the championship belt because Garcia was chubby.
We also asked Eddie how Devin was doing after the battle.
“I only spoke to him a few times. I mean, he’s been pretty quiet. I feel, like I said, that he’s never lost himself before. His whole life is boxing. So when he gets hit, you notice, you look for solutions and you want to say ‘why?’”
As for the potential timing of the rematch, we asked Hearn when the fight could end.
“I think Ryan will take a break now. He had an interesting time getting attention. And he’s always posting and going have fun with your victory”, stated the head of Matchroom Boxing.
“However, Devin also had an uphill physical battle. He will want to relax. However, I’m sure he’ll be excited to come back. And he’s still the world champion. So he will try to defend that. But at the same time, if you lose for the first time, revenge will be on your mind forever. So hopefully sooner rather than later we’ll make that happen.”
We hope so!
