Turki Al-Shiekh posted a photograph of him standing with Devin Haney and his dad, Invoice Haney, in the present day at their assembly. Haney is assembly with Turki to debate the potential of him preventing on one among his Riyadh Season playing cards.
Devin (31-0, 15 KOs) says he already acquired a suggestion from BLK Prime to battle in March, however he needs to see what Turki has in retailer for him. It’s unclear what sort of cash Haney expects to get for what’s prone to be a tuneup battle to assist him regain his confidence after his loss to Ryan Garcia.
“Even Enjoying Discipline”
Throughout an interview with the press in the present day in London, Haney talked about desirous to “battle one of the best” and mentioned he simply needs an “even enjoying area.” He claims he’s going to “clear up the game.” A lot of the main focus of Devin’s interview was on him making an attempt to whitewash his loss to Ryan, blaming it on his being “cheated” by him.

Properly, if Turki affords Haney an opponent with some pop in his punches for his subsequent Riyadh Season card, the rematch Ryan Garcia goes to go up in smoke and be about as nugatory because the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua ‘Battle of The Losers’ battle. Ryan Garcia did a quantity on Haney, clocking him final April and beating the residing daylights out of him for 12 rounds.
Every little thing will probably be high quality if Turki affords Devin a tomato can with no energy and only some marbles following round in his head. That form of man Haney can beat, however anybody else would put him liable to getting blown out once more.
“Simply because I used to be cheated in a battle, that doesn’t imply I’m going to vary my tune. I nonetheless really feel the identical means. I nonetheless really feel I’m one of the best fighter on this planet,” mentioned Devin Haney to the media on Friday in London, making an attempt to pump himself up by yapping slightly than preventing artificially. “I believe on an excellent enjoying area, I can beat all these guys.
“I don’t have any information on my subsequent opponent but. We have been some guys, however His Excellency [Turki Al-Shiekh] has referred to as me for a gathering with him. That’s why I’m right here with him. We’ll see. Hopefully, we will get one thing.
“It’s a chance. BLK Prime has a possibility for me in March. They provided me one thing, however now His Excellency has referred to as for a gathering for me to battle. So, we’ll see if we will iron one thing out whereas I’m right here,” mentioned Haney.
Looking for An Simple Struggle?
If Turki needs Haney to battle a reside physique on one among his Riyadh playing cards, he’ll sink the rematch with Garcia into the mud. Haney will lose, and his profession will go up in smoke. Haney isn’t able to beating top-tier fighters at 135, 140, or 147.
You set him in with high fighters from any of these weight lessons, and he’ll lose. I imply, actual high fighters, not George Kambosos or Regis Prograis. I’m speaking about high quality fighters like Gervonta Davis, Jaron Ennis, Richardson Hitchins, Alberto Puello, and Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela.
Devin continues to be making an attempt to make use of Ryan’s constructive take a look at for hint ranges of Ostarine as the explanation for his loss final April, however followers aren’t shopping for that. They noticed Haney get whipped, and so they’re not shopping for his Ostarine excuse.
They noticed him getting hit with left hooks all evening and being saved by the referee within the seventh along with his well timed level deduction of Garcia for hitting on the break. The purpose deduction had no prior warning given to Ryan.
