Garcia to Bill Haney: “Let me know when you want Devin eliminated again”

Ryan Garcia responded to Bill Haney on social media after he posed the question of whether he would withdraw from his Dec. 24 exhibition match against Japanese kickboxer Rukiya Anpo because he was unable to make the 153-pound weight for the match.

Kingry noted that Bill has been talking about him “nonstop” and wants him to let him know when he wants his son, Devin Haney, to “fall again.” Ryan beat former WBC light welterweight champion Haney on April 20 before a crowd of 19,000 fans at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Will Garcia-Haney 2 happen?

Garcia agreeing to give Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) a rematch would likely be music to Bill’s ears, as he seems eager to have that fight in 2025 once Ryan’s one-year suspension expires.

Bill wants Ryan to sign up for the drug test before the rematch can happen. There are also negotiations, which could be a nightmarish ordeal. If Bill has decided that Devin should be Side A in the negotiations, the rematch probably won’t happen.

Remove yourself from the bill, you keep talking about me non-stop. When you want your child to be dropped again, let me know.

According to Bill, Devin will be taking a year off. He hasn’t said when he’ll fight next, but he’s likely hoping the fight with Ryan could happen in the first half of 2025.

If Bill really wants a rematch, it would help if they dropped the lawsuit and made peace with Ryan. He wants to help Devin by beating him again, but it won’t work in the current situation.

Garcia is in high demand and can make a lot of money fighting a rematch against Gervonta Davis, Teofimo Lopez, Jaron Ennis and Shakur Stevenson.

Superstar Garcia withdrew from the exhibition match due to a wrist injury sustained in training. The match will be rescheduled at a later date.
