Devin Haney says he met with Turki Al-Shiekh and has something “big” coming up for him in 2025. He said one of those is a rematch with Ryan Garcia, who he says “cheated” on him and it’s “personal.” for him.”
Turki seems to really believe in Haney. He bought into the hype based on what he did while melting away for years to fight at 135. He was considered a classic light bully.
When Devin moved up to 140, it fell apart for him against Ryan, and he was viciously shelled in a humiliating loss. Haney had been lying down ever since, licking his wounds, and no one had seen him hide or mow until now when he emerged from his crowd.
Haney’s cryptic comeback plan
It’s just one of the big fights Turki has for Haney (31-0, 15 KOs). Haney says he will have “big fights” with his “peers.” However, he is short on detailing who he considers his “peers”.
We know he can’t afford to fight anyone with power right now because last April Kingry rocked him left and right in his 12 round decision loss. Power fighters are Devin’s kryptonite. So he has to fight an old man or someone who knows nothing about his punches.
“Yesterday I had a great open training. I live for the turnout and look forward to fighting here one day,” Devin Haney said via Jay on Xtalking about his training in London on Friday. “We don’t get recognized for all our hard work; We don’t get enough rewards.
“It’s going to be big. Big fights are going to happen with me and my peers,” Haney said when asked what his 2025 year will be like. “His Excellency Turki Al-Shiekh has a plan for me and I’m excited to carry it out. It’s big.
“It’s 100% personal because he cheated and got caught. So it’s very personal, and I want to be happy until that fight is over, the rematch,” Haney said when asked about his desire to fight Ryan Garcia a second time to try and avenge his 2024 loss. “It’s something that we.”
“We just saw him at the hotel. He didn’t say a word. Like I said, it’s unfinished business,” Haney said of his meeting with Ryan Garcia at a London hotel today. “We can solve it in 2025 and I think we will.”
