Devin Haney is back in training and preparing for his next fight. Hani, 26, looks like he's lost muscle weight, perhaps due to atrophy from seven months of inactivity.
135 or 140?
Losing weight could be a strategic move for former two-division world champion Haney to ensure he can stay at 140 or return to 135.
If Haney can return to lightweight, there are plenty of well-paying fights for him against these fighters:
Gervonta Davis
William Zepeda
Shakur Stevenson
Keshawn Davis
Devin has It was lying fallow Since his loss to Ryan Garcia on April 20, the defeat has ruined the momentum of his career. When you lose a battle like this, the worst thing you can do is remain idle, think about the loss and be mentally tortured by the memories. In Ryan's case, he had no choice but to remain inactive due to his one-year suspension. Hani should have returned already.
Haney's high money expectations may be one of the main problems that kept him out of the ring. If he insists on getting the same purse he got for his fight against Ryan, it will make it difficult for him. Only a few fighters at the same weight as Haney could bring him the same money.
Hani's next step
If he had won that fight, he probably would have already been back in the ring with a big money fight against Gervonta Davis or Teofimo Lopez by now. Tank could be an option for Haney in 2025 if he plays his cards right.
Former two-division world champion Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) hasn't given any hints about who he wants to fight, but he'll have to fight a big name if he wants to be paid like his name is. Last match against Ryan. If this is the fight he wants, he should tell his father, Bill, to be nice to Kingery, break bread, and scrap the idea of a lawsuit.
