Hearn Believes in Ryan and Haney Rematch

Promoter and Head of Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn believes that sooner or later, a rematch between Ryan Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) and WBC super lightweight (up to 63.5 kg) champion Devin Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) will happen.

«Put yourself in Devin Haney's shoes. You had to fight a guy who was much heavier, and then he was caught using doping.

Time is a great healer. The rematch will be huge. I believe that at some point this fight will take place. But let's wait and see what happens,» said Hearn.

On April 20, Garcia became the first to defeat Haney in the professional ring. At the final weigh-in, Ryan showed a weight 1.5 kg over the super lightweight limit. After the fight, banned substances were found in the winner's body. Additional analysis will be conducted at the end of May.
