After Haney won his fight, ‘Rougarou’, had a lot of options for future fights. But the one name that has been lingering around the most has been Ryan Garcia. ‘KingRy’ won his fight against Oscar Duarte with a dominant performance. On the other hand, Devin ‘The Dream’ Haney beat Regis Prograis, showing the world that he can dominate the ring despite moving up in division. With both parties going back and forth, throwing verbal jabs at each other, the anticipation is only peaking.

Garcia vs. Haney is the money game. Undoubtedly, the bout will generate historical PPVs. Owing to the hype for the anticipated bout, promoters of both fighters have started discussing a possible match-up. Garcia’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has been in talks with Golden Boy Promotions’ Oscar De La Hoya to make the fight real.

In an interview with Boxing News, Eddie Hearn was asked about a possible Garcia vs. Haney fight. Hearn said, “That’s true, I mean myself and Oscar, Eric Gomez, we’re speaking to Dazn and we’re going to present to Devin and to Ryan an offer to try and make that fight.”. Hearn has been one of the most active promoters of all the biggest fights in the sport. It would not come as a surprise if he managed to pull this off.

Hearn mentioned that he and De La Hoya would present an offer to Devin and Bill Haney next week. He seemed positive that Haney would accept the fight. The fame that comes with a fight against Ryan Garcia is too big of an offer to turn down for anyone. Hearn said, “I think there’s a good chance to make that fight.”. With talks already happening, there is a good chance we will witness Haney back against Garcia as early as next year.
