Haney’s Disappointed In Garcia Changing Course
WBC junior welterweight champion Devin “The Dream” Haney (31-0, 15KO) finds himself amid disappointment as popular contender “King” Ryan Garcia (24-1, 20KO) shifts his focus elsewhere.
With the arrival of the New Year, boxing fans received the first piece of significant bad news as Garcia will not be looking to fight Haney at the moment. Despite initial skepticism from boxing fans, Haney confirmed his rival’s genuine interest in making the fight happen.

“I’ve notified my team I’m going a different route. My intent now is to fight Rolando Romero. I pray my team backs me on this decision. Oscar make this fight happen. THAT’S THE MOVE. BIGGER FIGHT, BIGGER BUSINESS. #GarciaRomero.”

Unhappy with the turn of events, Haney expressed his frustration with his arch-rival.
The Dream is coming off an impressive victory over two-time champion Regis Prograis. In addition, he is a top contender for the 2023 Fighter of the Year award.
The question looming now is what’s next for the WBC champion. With the Garcia fight off the table, Haney may explore a unification bout with IBF champion Subriel Matias. Alternatively, a fight with WBC number one contender Sandor Martin could be on the horizon.
There is a small silver lining. If Garcia secures the WBA title, a unification bout with Haney could take place in the future.
