Boxing didn’t make a good impression in the “Big Apple” yesterday due to the misbehavior of a boxer.
In view of the big match on Saturday Garcia and Haney were supposed to throw the first pit at the game of the New York Mets against i Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday at City Field, the famous baseball stadium located in the Queens neighborhood of New York, but the organizers of the match renounced the presence of the boxers.
Chris Mannix writes that New York Mets officials ‘didn’t want to risk an on-field incident’ after Haney and Ryan were involved in a semi-brawl at the game’s pitch at the Empire State Building. The Mets wanted to avoid the risk of further unsportsmanlike actions.
Devin Haney in fact brutally pushed Ryan Garcia who was about to react, but was stopped by the men of his team. The stormy Bill, Haney’s father, did not stop and continued to shout towards “King Ry” phrases such as: “On Saturday my son will kill you.”
An intolerable gesture and attitude. not to mention the great missed opportunity to present the match in front of 30,000 fans present at the stadium.
Haney and Ryan were then “face to face”, whispering venomous words to each other and suddenly the champion violently pushed Ryan while shouting insults at him.
This was a bad move on the part of Haney, who demonstrated that he was unable to control his emotions. Obviously disappointed and irritated were the representatives of DAZN and Golden Boy Promotions who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain publicity before an important match like Mets-Pirates.
Devin Haney is a repeat offender. He had also verbally attacked and violently pushed Vasily Lomachenko last year during a press conference, even attempting to headbutt the Ukrainian. .
Devin’s father, Bill, is equally guilty. He talks a lot and systematically insults every opponent of his son. His abrupt ways and the vulgar phrases he uses are now well known in the boxing environment and he deserves a sanction from the relevant bodies.
If Haney wants to become a real star, he needs someone who knows what he’s doing to help him market his fights. He certainly can’t count on his father to promote his image
