In the recent boxing realms, a new warning has been issued by the legendary former undisputed welterweight world champion Zab Judah. The stern warning was explicitly given to rising stars Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis about facing the unstoppable Devin Haney after his solid “STATEMENT” win. Indeed, Haney’s latest victory has left the boxing community buzzing, with former champions and current fighters alike acknowledging his prowess.
Judah, who has held five world championships in two weight classes, was significantly impressed by Haney’s stunning performance. Haney, the WBC lightweight champion, recently secured a huge victory over Jorge Linares to retain his title. The victory has fortified his position in the lightweight division and Judah believes that both Davis and Garcia should undertake a detailed analysis before stepping into the ring against him.
“The kid is definitely special”, stated the 43-year-proud Judah in an exclusive interview. “His level of dedication and skills is exceptional. If you look at his last fight, that victory wasn’t just a stroke of luck. That was sheer talent and hard work flushing out. Garcia and Davis need to be very careful.”
Ryan Garcia, despite being an interim WBC lightweight champion, and Gervonta Davis, the WBA (Super) lightweight holder, are both rising figures in their own rights. However, Judah’s words bring the idea to light that facing a ferocious fighter like Haney may be far from an ordinary boxing match.
Devin Haney has become a renowned name in the boxing and sports industry for his sheer speed, exceptional footwork, and striking power. Haney’s victory over the highly-respected boxing veteran, Jorge Linares, by unanimous decision was a reminder of his commanding prowess. While he was able to impose himself in the most significant fight of his career till date, he also proved that he is ready for even bigger challenges.
Despite the victories and titles Garcia and Davis have in their arsenal, they mustn’t underestimate Haney’s skill set. Both of them have shown excellent knockout power and boxing skills over the years; however, the finesse Haney has depicted in his recent matches is also highly commendable. Haney is seen as one of the biggest threats to any boxer in the lightweight division currently.
“Garcia and Davis have hard punches, guile, and speed. But Haney’s tenacity and hunger to win is unmatched,”, stated Judah while emphasizing the potential threat Haney brings to the table. “Let’s remember, Haney hasn’t lost a single match in his professional career. This isn’t just a stat, it’s an undisputed fact that screams volumes.”
Both the fighters, Ryan Garcia, and Gervonta Davis have expressed their desire to face Devin Haney in the future. As fans worldwide eagerly anticipate these highly anticipated clashes, the advice from legendary Zab Judah echoes in the background. His words are not just empty gestures but a testament to his own experiences in his illustrious boxing career.
Will the path being chartered by Devin Haney in the amateur boxing world turn the tables on his competitors? Will this advice from Zab Judah be a turning point for Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis? Only time will tell. Regardless, one fact is undeniable: the young, invincible Devin Haney is bound to be a formidable force in his future encounters.
