Devin Haney and Oscar De La Hoya aren’t on the same page when it comes to Ryan Garcia.
“King Ryan” won a thrilling majority decision over Haney this past Saturday, rocking the WBC super lightweight champion and nearly scoring a knockout on multiple occasions. Unfortunately for Garcia, he was ineligible to win Haney’s title due to an egregious weight miss, a mistake that slightly mars what an otherwise incredible performance.
On Wednesday, Haney posted his first statement to Instagram since losing his unbeaten record. He pointed out the weight discrepancy and then called for Garcia to run it back with him in the future.
First off I wanna say.. Alhamdulillah Allah is the perfect planner and I trust his plan no matter what. I came up short but this boxing, and if anyone knows me they know that I am a true competitor, and always wanted to test my skills against the best fighters in the world.
Ryan, despite the circumstances was victorious that night and that’s fine. I do feel like weight played a role in it but only Allah knows. I would love to run it back and give the fans a FAIR fight within an agreed weight.
With that being said.. I am currently enjoying time with my family & friends as well as making up my days of Ramadan. Thank you to all my supporters & everyone involved in making this event happen. After I finish making up my days of Ramadan I will tell you guys what’s next!
Haney thanked De La Hoya in the statement, but that didn’t seem to win over the Golden Boy Promotions boss as he replied in the comments that Garcia will not rematch Haney.
“Good luck with [Matchroom Boxing Chairman Eddie Hearn], but there will not be a rematch,” De La Hoya wrote. “Good luck in your career and good luck with Eddie, a European promoter trying to make it in the U.S.”
Garcia has also said that it is unlikely that he rematches Haney. The 25-year-old plans to move up in weight, well out of the super light weight range, and if his social media activity is any indication, he may even entertain a crossover bout with UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley.
