Fans Accuse Devin Haney of “Lying” About Gervonta Davis’ Next Opponent

Gervonta Davis, the three-weight-class world champion is set to defend his WBA title against unbeaten Hector Luis Garcia, who is moving up in weight class for the first time to accomplish the goal of winning a title at 135 pounds weight category. No doubt, Davis is the favorite for the showdown but Garcia has made it clear in the latest back-and-forth at the press conference on Thursday that he is ready to pull an upset win.

Before the duo goes head-to-head at Capital One Arena in Washington, the undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney made a big statement about Davis’s opponent. Haney was not quite appreciative of Garcia’s boxing acumen as he recounted the time he sparred with him.

According to him, Garcia is not at Davis’s level.

“I sparred him. He is a tuner. I kicked him out of the camp because he couldn’t last. I sparred with JoJo Diaz. I sparred with him two times or three times and he doesn’t keep up so I kicked him out”, Haney said.

How did fans react to Devin Haney’s remark on Davis’ upcoming opponent?

A fan wrote, “Haney whole career a tune up.”

“I have seen the footage. Solid work for both. Devin didn’t separate himself as he say he did. This really a lame move”, another fan wrote.

“This nigga acts like he fought somebody fr”, another fan wrote.

Another fan mentioned, “This ni**a is lying like shit.”

Another fan wrote, “He’s lying made that shit up as he was going.”

“I fw Haney but the only person he could say he beat is Kambosos and that man only beat Teo so he gotta put in more work before he does all this talking and if he let Loma beat him he really overrated”, another fan wrote.

Haney is coming out of a big win over former unified champion George Kambosos Jr in the rematch and is eager to face Davis.

Davis has two fights in a row. If everything goes well on January 7 then he will most likely face his fiercest rival till date, Ryan Garcia. It is not clear when they will meet but reports claim they will square off sometime in April.

Therefore, the most anticipated fight in the lightweight division hinges upon Davis’ victory over Garcia

What do you think of Haney’s conclusion about Tank’s next opponent? Is he trying to say that Davis is going to meet an opponent who is not tough? What do you think of this? Let us know in the comments below.
