Ryan Garcia hasn’t been one to shy away from huge fights. After all, he went for glory against Tank Davis. Now, it appears he’s looking for yet another big opportunity.
Although there were strong rumors that Rolly Romero would be his next opponent, Garcia has revealed that he held a meeting with confidantes in order to determine who he should fight next. They landed on pursuing a Devin Haney bout, but a conversation with Floyd Mayweather Jr. changed Garcia’s mind.
Ryan Garcia talks Mayweather, Haney and Rolly Romero
Garcia told the story to FightHype.
Romero ended up going in a different direction after talks broke down, opting to fight Isaac Cruz in March. So now, Garcia’s full attention is on Haney. He essentially admits that talks with Haney are back on track.
During the interview, Garcia also sent a vicious message directed at Haney and his father/trainer, Bill.
With Romero in the rearview mirror, Garcia will do what’s needed to get a fight with Haney set. If it happens, it will be one of the biggest – if not the biggest – fights of the year.
