Devin Haney's Mysterious Message: Hidden in 2025? Who is he talking about?

Devin Haney posted a cryptic message on social media tonight saying he expects to be dropped in 2025.

He wouldn't say who would drop him, but he could be talking about Ryan Garcia because his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, said a matchup with Devin won't happen in his first fight after his one-year suspension expires in April.

Devin and his father, Bill Haney, want a rematch with Kingry to avenge their loss last April. It's also one of the highest paid fights for Haynie (31-0, 15 KOs) in 2025. However, if he loses the rematch with Garcia, his career is over. He would regret this fight for the rest of his life.

Dev needs to beat Garcia to show fans that his 12-round decision loss to Garcia on April 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn was just an off night. Haynie was killed three times in this fight and three more times that the referee didn't count.

Andrade criticizes Haney

“I originally thought about Devin Haney for a long time because I thought he was going to develop into a Sugar Ray Leonard type of guy, but lately it just hasn't been going that way,” Demetrius Andrade told Mill City Boxing for initially believing that Devin Haney would be the man to beat Jervonta Davis.

“I don't know if he (Haney) got too complacent or not. It's still young because they make good money and then stop working. I'm not saying it doesn't work a lot. I thought he would be the guy to beat Tank in the future. Beat a lot of them guys, honestly.

“I think he's got the skills to beat everybody except that Ryan Garcia thing. Regardless of what little substance he took, he didn't show any dominance skills against Ryan and Ryan looked like a jerk at times. He was tired,” Andrade said.

If Andrade seriously thought Haney was going to become the next Sugar Ray Leonard, that means he wasn't around when he fought. Haney doesn't fight anything like Leonard. Even an older version of Sugar Ray in 1997. was a level above Devin in terms of talent.

“There were a lot of rounds in this fight where Devin should have pressed and pressed, but he didn't,” Andrade said. “He just let it go and was throwing jabs at Caleb Plant. He was doing nothing and Ryan was just boo-boo. That was rough,” Andrade said of Haynie's loss to Garcia.

Haynie was trying to neutralize Ryan's left hook by over-clinching, but he kept getting pinned as he looked to grab it. He had gotten away with fighting this way in both of his fights against George Kambosos Jr. and his clash against Vasily Lomachenkp. That tactic didn't work against Garcia.

2025 sigh duckling…
