Followers and promoters say Devin Haney must concentrate on his profession and cease sitting on the sidelines to regroup after his loss final April. He misplaced by 12-round majority resolution to Ryan Garcia in an upset April 20 in Brooklyn. This defeat appears to have taken one thing away from the previous two-division world champion.
A yr aside
Invoice Haney mentioned this week that he has “huge information” coming for Devin’s subsequent struggle, however he is giving no indication of who it is perhaps or what weight class. If Devin strikes as much as 147, he may struggle for a world title in opposition to WBC champion Mario Barrios or WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis.
IBF champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis desires to struggle these guys, however he is been too gradual to carry fights to fruition. Invoice would transfer rapidly to make them occur if that is the place he desires Devin to go.
Promoter Eddie Hearn believes it is necessary for Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) to return to motion, noting he might be out of the ring for almost a yr when he returns.
It is not a great factor for Haney, 26, a former two-division world champion, to do if he desires to remain sharp. Haney is dropping some huge cash staying out of the ring, and he may have already held his personal in opposition to Sandor Martin and fought IBF champion Liam Paro in a unification.
“He wants to maneuver”
“Let’s see what Devin does subsequent.” For me, I believe he wants to maneuver. He fought in April. It’s now December. He won’t struggle in January. He might be gone for nearly a yr when all is claimed and finished,” Eddie Hearn advised iFL TV about Devin Haney being inactive since his loss to Ryan Garcia on April 20. “I might like to see Devin again within the ring. I believe he has immense expertise.
