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.
