Perhaps the path to salvation lies in the “dream”. Why else would Ryan Garcia call now His Excellency Turk Alalshikhwho has shown interest in Devin Haneys tentative return? Almost three months have passed since the infamous boxing match that severely damaged the careers of the two young boxers. Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney faced off on April 20 at New York’s Barclays Center. Although Garcia won, the fight was declared void due to his failure in several doping tests. As a punishment, he was suspended from the sport for a year.

If only it would all end now, everything would have been fine and Garcia could have returned next April. But his vile online tirades made things worse. Left with no other choice, the WBC took a clear stance and excluded “KingRy” from its ranks in early July. Despite this, fans often talk about his return due to Ryan Garcia’s presence at events. Devin Haney, who kept a low profile during the ordeal and who fans watched at the Terence Crawford–Israel Madrimov Fight, has hinted that he is considering a comeback. The news has attracted considerable attention. Apparently, it has also piqued HE Alalshikh’s curiosity. Now all that was needed was for Ryan Garcia to join in to create an interesting storyline.

Let’s get back to the topic: Ryan Garcia demands a rematch against Devin Haney

It would be better to read the news in order to better understand the recent development. It started with Devin Haney suggesting that boxing may have been missing something crucial since his hiatus. Maybe it was time for him to take the stage back and restore order.

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh responded immediately: “Get the job done, champion.“When Haney responded (with emojis) that he was excited, the Riyadh season director added that he, his team and the boxing world in general were looking forward to ‘The Dream’ coming to Riyadh.”

“We can arrange this in Riyadh if you like, Mr Turki,”, Ryan Garcia interjected while replying to HE Alalshikh’s tweet. He continued: “I will do anything you ask, including daily drug testing, so please, if you can make it possible.”

The post could gain traction, especially as it follows rumors that “KingRy” is in talks with a boxing star Manny Pacquiao for an end-of-year exhibition in Japan. Ryan Garcia caused a stir with his appearance at a show in the “Land of the Rising Sun”.

The stage design for the stars

At the “Super Rizin 3” event in Saitama, a brawl almost broke out after a kickboxer took strong offense to the presence of the Californian boxer. Fortunately, security prevented the situation from escalating. Later, pictures emerged of Garcia in an intense duel with “PacMan”.

However, with eight months until KingRy’s boxing ban finally ends, many fans are wondering how he will step into the ring, even for an exhibition bout. As for Devin Haney, the WBC has given him “champion in recess” status at his request, so when he returns, he could either seek a title defense or chase other champions for a title unification. If the former is the case, he may have to step back into the ring to Sandor Martinthe number one contender in the ranks of the WBC.

Previous talks about a match between Haney and Martin failed due to problems with the prize money. Otherwise, the big fight with Teofimo Lopez remains a viable option. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the new round of moves and grooves in the light welterweight division.

Do you find a rematch between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney in Riyadh an exciting venture?
