Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney will meet for a rematch in October, and there will be a trilogy in February 2026. Both fights will be in Saudi Arabia.
It’s not yet known if the trilogy requires Haney to win the October rematch, but it would seem like a logical conclusion. Since Turki Al-Sheikh finances the events, it may not matter if Haney loses the rematch. Turki still needs to confirm all this.
Money is not a problem. American promoters wouldn’t put together a trilogy under those circumstances, obviously, because fans wouldn’t be interested in seeing a third fight after Haney was defeated again.
To get fans excited about the rematch, the plan is for Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) and Ryan to make the decision. tune-ups on the same card in May. They will then meet in October for a rematch. It will be interesting to share the same card in May.
If Devin and Ryan fight someone too good, they could lose. We don’t know how Haney’s chin will hold up after being injured numerous times in his loss to Ryan last April. He hasn’t fought since and it’s very possible that his punch resistance has been affected. If so, Haney may be knocked out in May and ruin his rematch with Ryan in October.
“Haney verbally agreed to steps that will lead to a planned rematch in October and even a trilogy fight next February, both in Saudi Arabia,” Lance Pugmire said in boxing scene. “Garcia and Haney are also scheduled to fight separate fights on the same card in early May.”
The money Ryan and Haney will make from these three fights will likely be huge and easily the biggest payday of their short careers.
Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) defeated Haney by 12-round majority decision on April 20 of last year in Brooklyn, New York. The win was later overturned and changed to a no-contest after Ryan tested positive for the banned PED Ostarine.
