In a recent interview, Devin Haney made it clear that he is focused on his own career and what lies ahead, regardless of other boxers’ decisions. When asked about Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ retirement plans, Haney shrugged off the idea, stating he doesn’t believe it and that there’s still “so much more on the table” for Davis. However, Haney made it clear that if Davis does retire, it’s his own choice, and Haney isn’t particularly concerned about it.
“Yeah, I don’t believe it,” Haney said when asked if he believed Tank would retire. “I think there’s so much more on the table for him. But if he does, that’s his business. I don’t care.”
Instead, Haney is laser-focused on his own future, and one fight that stands out is his highly anticipated rematch with Ryan Garcia. The first fight between the two didn’t come to fruition yet, but according to Haney, the rematch with Garcia is at the top of his priority list for 2025. When asked about the prospect of facing Garcia again, Haney expressed excitement and optimism, especially considering the unfinished business between them.
“That’s a fight that has to happen sooner or later,” Haney said. “I’m happy that Tury Shake wants to make it happen. It feels great because at the end of the day, it’s a priority for me as well.”
Haney’s confidence is undeniable, and his mindset remains unwavering, even in the face of online backlash. Haney also spoke about dealing with the ups and downs of social media. “If they’re talking good or bad, at least they’re talking,” Haney said. “My concern is when they’re not talking—when they’re silent, that’s when it matters.”
As for his future plans, Haney revealed that fans can expect him back in the ring around April or May of 2025. This is right in line with his goal of securing major fights, particularly with Teofimo Lopez, who is also eager to face him. Haney indicated that he’s ready for whatever comes next and is eager to step up to the plate for the biggest bouts of his career.
On the topic of Teofimo Lopez, Haney was hopeful but cautious. He acknowledged that a fight between them would be huge for boxing, and 2025 could be the year it comes to fruition.
“Absolutely, I think it’s a huge fight for boxing. It’s definitely possible for 2025,” Haney stated.
Overall, Devin Haney’s mindset remains determined, confident, and focused on the future, particularly with the hope of taking on big names in the sport like Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez. The year 2025 promises to be a significant one for Haney, and fans are eagerly awaiting what comes next for the young star.
