After Ryan Garcia received a 1 -year ban, Devin Haney announced he wanted to rematch in the near future. Garcia himself accepted the invitation, and wanted to immediately have the upper radio with Haney next year. They made quite friendly statements on social network Twitter about this, opening up hope for the rematch.
But only one day later, Haney changed his mind. Sharing with TotalsportsNet, the boxer said: “I think Ryan Garcia has to be banned for longer, maybe the banned boxing for professional boxing permanently. It is necessary to have a heavier penalty for him, a person who has continuously worse the boxing image.”
In the match against Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia attracted attention with a series of unrealistic stories. He put up to 1.5kg in the weight test, and drink beer when he walked on the scale. Not long after the match, Garcia was discovered using doping, when using Ostarine, a substance that enhances physical.
Similar to Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney started playing professional boxing since 2016, when he was 18 years old. Before encountering each other in the professional floor, they have confronted a number of times at young American boxing tournaments. Haney played later but had a more impressive achievement table than Ryan Garcia.
In Lightweight, Haney agreed on the entire belt and became an absolute champion at the age of 24. After that, he won against Vasiliy Lomachenko in a controversial match. He played so weak against Lomachenko in the second half of the match, but still won the point.
