Boxer Devin Haney has spoken out for the first time since his defeat to Ryan Garcia. Additionally, Oscar De La Hoya has provided a response to Haney's statement.

Devin Haney and Oscar De La Hoya Clash Over Ryan Garcia Bout

Following his electrifying victory over Devin Haney, "King Ryan" Garcia's triumph was overshadowed by a weight discrepancy, rendering him ineligible for Haney's WBC super lightweight title. Despite the setback, Haney took to Instagram for his first post-defeat statement, highlighting the weight issue and expressing interest in a future rematch with Garcia.

While Haney extended gratitude to De La Hoya in his statement, the response from the Golden Boy Promotions head wasn't as optimistic. De La Hoya dismissed the possibility of a rematch in a comment, citing Garcia's unlikely return to face Haney again.

Echoing De La Hoya's sentiments, Garcia himself hinted at moving up in weight, potentially leaving the super lightweight division behind. Social media activity even hints at a possible crossover bout with UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley, further clouding the prospect of a rematch with Haney.
