Davin Haney heard the challenge live, since he was in the Dallas Arena at the time that “Kingry” challenged him, but he only smiled and nodded; It was later when he answered.
“Our plan is to push for the next fight. I want to return to the ring as soon as possible and that Ryan García be my next fight “, expressed in an interview for Boxing Scene.
“ There shouldn’t be much pressure on the WBC to make this fight . I shouldn’t have to force them or force Ryan Garcia to fight me. I mean, he’s my agent, they should pressure me to fight him! We just have to see, ”he added.
