Ryan Garcia reveals the reason why negotiations with Devin Haney broke down so suddenly

Ryan Garcia already looking past Devin Haney towards his next fight

Although both boxers stated on social media that they were in negotiations to make a fight happen, Ryan Garcia has now revealed why a contest between him and Devin Haney has now completely broken down.

25-year-old Californian Garcia is considered a hot young property in boxing, with over 10 million Instagram followers. The young talet has won 24 from 25 contests including a win over Brit Luke Campbell. The former WBC interim lightweight champion has just one loss on his record to Gervonta Davis, a four-weight world champion widely considered today’s ‘Face of Boxing’.

Speaking to Inside Fighting, ‘King Ry’ was asked exactly why negotiations with two-division world champion Haney failed so suddenly and spectacularly, especially when the coveted WBC super-lightweight title was on offer.

“Yeah, Devin lost his shot,” he declared. “He thought it was Haney-Garcia. He should have known it was Garcia-Haney.

“He did 35,000 pay-per-view buys. [He should fight] Richardson Hitchins. I’m helping him out, I’m giving him his next move.”

Garcia is now pursuing a fight with WBA Champion Rolando Romero. “Romero got lucky. He’s a rolly polly, he just rolls into people. For sure, I destroy that man. I see his eyes closed.

“I believe this fight’s going to be in May, on May 5th.”
