Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney Rematch Claimed for September 5 at Allegiant Stadium

Devin Haney Promotions has claimed a rematch with Ryan Garcia is being targeted for September 5 at Allegiant Stadium, potentially setting the stage for the rivalry to resume later this year.

The claim appeared on social media from Haney’s promotional side, pointing to a second meeting on the same Las Vegas card two weeks before the September 19 Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao rematch.

If the date holds, the bout would bring the two rivals back together more than two years after their chaotic first encounter in April 2024.

That fight saw Garcia score multiple knockdowns on his way to a decision win that was later overturned to a no contest after he tested positive for Ostarine.

Haney has since bounced back to claim the WBO welterweight title in a decision win over Brian Norman Jr.

Garcia vs. Haney II
Despite the controversy surrounding the original result, the demand for a rematch has never disappeared.

Few in boxing doubt Garcia vs. Haney II is the fight that makes the most sense next. Both fighters now hold world titles, turning the rivalry into a welterweight unification if the fight goes ahead.

The matchup has remained central to the division’s biggest conversations in recent months.

As  reported by WBN earlier this month, the welterweight title picture has gradually tightened around Garcia and Haney as other options narrowed through mandatory obligations and injuries.

Garcia has also spoken openly about a possible fight with Shakur Stevenson, while Haney has been linked to talks involving Rolando “Rolly” Romero.

However, those moves can easily be viewed as smokescreens if both sides are focused on making the rematch.

Unfinished Business
Garcia, the WBC champion after beating Mario Barrios convincingly, would likely begin the rematch as the favorite despite the fallout from the first meeting.

The New York State Athletic Commission later changed the result to a no-contest following Garcia’s positive test, but the way he repeatedly dropped Haney in the fight still shapes how many see a second bout playing out.

Romero also offered a blunt assessment of the rivalry while speaking to The Last Stand Podcast with Brian Custer.

“They could fight a hundred times. Ryan knocks him out a hundred times.”

That view may be extreme, but it underlines the wider feeling that this rivalry still has not been settled.

With Haney Promotions now pointing to September 5 at Allegiant Stadium, Garcia vs. Haney II has moved back into focus as the fight that makes the most sense for both men right now.

Terence Crawford Reacts Savagely After Devin Haney’s Big Fight on Saturday

The Ring IV card wasn’t built around one knockout moment or runaway headline — instead, it delivered steady pressure, shifting rhythms, and a lineup where each bout carried its own tension. But within that flow, Devin Haney produced the night’s most noticeable step forward.

Coming off a performance that left questions about pace, presence, and overall urgency, he returned with something far more decisive.

From the opening exchanges, he started a bit tentative, but it didn’t last long. Once he settled in, he began making his mark with real confidence, tightening the kind of execution that had been missing against Jose Ramirez. And while there were still moments where he could’ve done more, the knockdown, the damage, and the Round 2 momentum shift showed he came in with a clearer, stronger intention this time.

That effort caught the attention of the sport’s pound-for-pound king. Terence Crawford took to X shortly after the fight and didn’t waste time choosing his words. ‘All that shit y’all was talking about @Realdevinhaney and he went out there and shut a lot of people up once again,’ he posted — a direct, unfiltered response to the criticism that surrounded Haney all week. It was part praise, part defense, and partly a reminder that elite performances don’t always match public expectations.

Crawford’s reaction also fit a pattern that fans and media have pointed out for years — his relationship with the Haney family has always carried a certain level of mutual respect. Bill Haney has spoken openly about admiring Crawford’s professionalism, while Crawford has consistently given Devin credit for taking tough fights.

In the end, Haney’s performance did more than settle the week’s noise — it reinforced why his name consistently sits near the top of every major conversation in the sport. And with Crawford publicly backing him while maintaining the same straightforward honesty he’s shown the Haney family over the years, the takeaway from Ring IV is simple: momentum is shifting again, and the next chapter is already taking shape.
