Ryan Garcia has fired back at Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn. The lightweight interim champion savagely clapped back at the Englishman for suggesting that he should fight his fighter Devin Haney next. Here’s how it all unfolded.

Garcia beat Luke Campbell on January 2 and became WBC interim champion. Since then, the WBC has named him the mandatory for the WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney. Many have said he should fight his compatriot next. However, Garcia has stated his desire to fight Gervonta Davis.

Hearn has since come out and said that Haney-Garcia is the fight that makes sense. He feels that Garcia fighting ‘Tank’ is not a significant fight since ‘Tank’ is the WBO champion. However, Garcia showed what he thought of the whole situation. 

The super-star boxer took to Twitter to reply, “Boo hoo Poor Eddie not getting his way, the people want Davis Garcia, no such thing as a real champion when coming to belts it’s about being the people’s champ, go cry me a river”.

Why does Eddie Hearn want Ryan Garcia for Devin Haney?

Hearn explained that the Luke Campbell fight was the final eliminator in the WBC lightweight division. Both fighters were high in the rankings and the winner would be the mandatory. He claimed that the WBC should order the Garcia-Haney fight as this was one of the easiest fights that could be booked. Hearn even claimed that the fight could be booked this week. 

Garcia clearly has other plans and wants to duke it out against Davis. He has repeatedly called out the champion and said he could beat him. That would be a big statement for the 22-year-old fighter. That’s exactly what he meant when he referenced the ‘people’s champion’.

Therefore, despite being the mandatory, we may not get to see Ryan Garcia fight Devin Haney in his next fight. Davis and he have already verbally agreed to fight, and we can expect an announcement soon. This could possibly pave the way for a Haney-Lopez match up too.
