Hani and Garcia will reunite in October, Trilogy in 2026, both in Saudi Arabia.
Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney will meet for a rematch this October, and the trio will take place in February 2026. Both fights will take place in Saudi Arabia.
No word yet on whether the trio will want Honey to win the rematch in October, but that seems like a logical conclusion. Turki al-Sheikh is financing the events, so if Hani loses in the return match, it may not matter. Turkey still has to prove all this.
Money is nothing. U.S. promoters won’t schedule a triathlon under those circumstances, because the fans won’t be interested in seeing a third fight after Hany gets knocked out again.
Honey and Garcia share a card
The plan is to get Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) and Ryan to get the fans excited about the rematch. Adjustments on the same card in May. They will then meet in October for the return leg. It will be interesting to share the same card in May.
If Devin and Ryan were to fight someone too good, they might lose. We don’t know how Hani’s chin is going to hold up after being hurt so many times in his loss to Ryan last April. He hasn’t fought since, and his punching resistance may have weakened. If so, Haney would be cut in May, ruining his rematch with Ryan in October.
“Haney has verbally agreed to steps leading up to a rematch scheduled for October and a three-way contest in Saudi Arabia next February,” Lance Pugmire said. Boxingsen. “Garcia and Hani were scheduled to fight in separate bouts on the same card in early May.”
The money for Ryan and Honey from these three fights is huge and could easily be the biggest payday of their short careers.
Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) defeated Hanni via a 12-round majority decision last April 20 in Brooklyn, New York. The win was later reversed to a no-contest after Ryan tested positive for the banned PED Ostarine.
