Invoice Haney says Devin will take a full yr off to relaxation his physique and work on blocking the left Hook earlier than he returns to the ring in 2025. Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) has been out of the ring for seven months since his loss to Ryan Garcia on April twentieth and appears shaken by that defeat.
Yr-Lengthy Timeout
Former two-division world champion Haney’s resolution to take a complete yr off means he’ll wait till Kingry’s year-long suspension expires in April 2025 earlier than he fights once more. Devin’s resolution to take a seat and stew on his loss for a complete yr, till Ryan is accessible, will not be precisely courageous, however there’s simply an excessive amount of cash at stake for him to place it in danger.
Nevertheless, that is an anticipated transfer as a result of it’s too dangerous for Haney to struggle somebody and probably lose. Getting overwhelmed would wreck the potential large money rematch for Devin towards Garcia. So, it’s sensible for Haney to take a seat and anticipate Ryan as a result of whoever he faces can be swinging for the fences, trying to benefit from Dev’s weak chin.

Rockefeller, or Cornelius Vanderbilt, he would NOT sit for a yr with out staying as busy as attainable, benefiting from his reputation to make tens of millions combating the highest guys. Haney isn’t ruthless just like the super-rich robber barons and is lacking the braveness and ambition to get each final penny he can by being as busy as attainable.
