In a shocking turn of events, former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs has issued a stern warning to rising boxing star Devin Haney about a potential rematch with his rival, Ryan Garcia. In an exclusive interview with M.Reck, Briggs expressed his concerns about Haney potentially stepping back into the ring with Garcia after their controversial first fight.
Haney and Garcia squared off in a highly anticipated bout earlier this year, with Garcia pulling off a close victory over Haney. However, Briggs believes that a rematch between the two fighters could spell disaster for Haney.
“Devin is a talented fighter, there’s no denying that,” Briggs said. “But going up against Ryan Garcia again so soon could be a dangerous move. Ryan is a hungry young fighter with a lot to prove, and I fear that he may have Haney’s number.”
Briggs, who famously coined the phrase “Let’s Go Champ,” urged Haney to carefully consider his options before agreeing to a rematch with Garcia. He emphasized the importance of strategy and preparation in the world of boxing, warning Haney not to rush into a potentially risky fight.
“Devin needs to approach this rematch with caution and focus,” Briggs advised. “He should take the time to study his opponent, make necessary adjustments, and come into the ring fully prepared. Otherwise, he could be setting himself up for failure.”
Only time will tell if Devin Haney heeds Shannon Briggs’ warning and decides to pursue a rematch with Ryan Garcia. Boxing fans around the world will be eagerly awaiting any updates on this potential showdown, as the drama and excitement continue to unfold in the world of professional boxing.
