Devin Haney: From fallow to concentration: the comeback begins

Devin Haney is back in training and preparing for when his next fight is scheduled. Haney, 26, appears to have lost muscle weight, perhaps due to atrophy after seven months of inactivity.

135 or 140?

The weight loss could be a strategic move for former two-division world champion Haney to ensure he can stay at 140 or drop back down to 135.

If Haney could return to lightweight, there are plenty of high-paying fights for him against these fighters:

Gervonta Davis
William Zepeda
Shakur Stevenson
Keyshawn Davis

Devin has been fallow since his loss to Ryan Garcia on April 20, and the loss ruined his career momentum. When you lose a fight like that, the worst thing you can do is sit idle, thinking about the loss and being mentally tortured by the memories. In Ryan’s case, he had no choice but to remain inactive due to his one-year suspension. Haney should have returned by now.

Haney’s high monetary expectations could be one of the main problems keeping him out of the ring. If he insists on getting the same bag he received for his fight against Ryan, this will make it difficult for him. Only a few fighters of Haney’s weight can make him the same money.

Haney’s next move

If he had won that fight, he probably would have already returned to the ring with a big-money fight against Gervonta Davis or Teofimo Lopez. 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 clue as to who he wants to fight, but he’ll have to fight a big name if he wants to get paid what he promises. last game against Ryan. If that’s the fight he wants, he needs to tell his father, Bill, to be nice to Kingry, break bread, and throw out the idea of ​​a lawsuit.
