Devin Haney belittles the next opponent of Gervonta Davis

According to Haney, who sparred with Luis Garcia before the Joseph Diaz fight, Davis’ next opponent is a “tune-up” despite his clean sheet. ‘The Dream’, who sparred with ‘El Androide’ “two or three times”, claims that the latter could not hang or keep up with him. In addition, Haney informed that Luis Garcia was so below the level that he had to kick him out and find someone else for sparring.

“I sparred him. He is a tune up. I kicked him out of camp because he couldn’t hang. I sparred him for the Joseph Diaz fight,” said Haney. ” Think I sparred him two or three times, but he couldn’t keep up, so I kicked him out and got someone else,” Haney added by saying. Following Haney’s depreciating remarks, Luis Garcia jabbed back at Haney.
