Followers and promoters say Devin Haney must get busy along with his profession and cease sitting on the sidelines regrouping after his loss final April. He misplaced a 12-round majority determination to Ryan Garcia in an upset on April twentieth in Brooklyn. That defeat appears to have taken one thing out of the previous two-division world champion.
A Yr On The Sidelines
Invoice Haney mentioned this week that he has “Massive information” coming quickly for Devin’s subsequent combat, however he’s not giving any hints about who it could possibly be or what weight class. If Devin strikes as much as 147, he may combat for a world title in opposition to WBC champion Mario Barrios or WBA champ Eimantas Stanionis.
IBF champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis is considering preventing these guys, however he’s been too gradual to make the fights occur. Invoice would transfer shortly to make them occur if that’s the place he desires Devin to go.
Promoter Eddie Hearn feels it’s vital for Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) to get again in motion, noting that he’ll have been out of the ring for nearly a yr when he returns.
That’s not a superb factor for the 26-year-old former two-division world champion Haney to be doing if he desires to remain sharp. Haney is shedding some huge cash by staying out of the ring, and he may have already defended in opposition to Sandor Martin and fought IBF champion Liam Paro in a unification.
“He Wants To Get Shifting”
“Let’s see what Devin does subsequent. For me, I believe he must get transferring. He fought in April. It’s now December. He’s not going to combat in January. He’s going to be out for practically a yr by the point it’s all mentioned and completed,” mentioned Eddie Hearn to iFL TV about Devin Haney being inactive since his loss to Ryan Garcia on April twentieth. “I’d prefer to see Devin again within the ring. I believe he’s an incredible expertise.”
