Devin Haney Vs. Jose Ramirez
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MARCH 04: Devin Haney and Jose Ramirez face off during a press conference at … More
Devin Haney (31-0-0-1 with 15 KOs) was on a 31-fight winning streak when he stepped into the ring against a seemingly unhinged Ryan Garcia at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in April 2024.
Garcia dropped Haney three times that night on route to a decision win. However, as mentioned above, Garcia failed a drug test, which resulted in the outcome of the fight being overturned, and ruled a no contest. The failed drug test and Garcia’s weight miss give Haney some slack heading into the Ramirez matchup, but Garcia tagged Haney with his left throughout the fight. Make no mistake, Haney needs a bounce-back performance in Times Square.
Jose Ramirez (29-2 with 18 KOs) opened his career on a 26-0 run. By the time Ramirez faced Josh Taylor in May 2021, Ramirez owned the WBC and WBO light welterweight titles. Taylor held the WBA and IBF belts. When the fight ended, Taylor walked away with the decision win and as the undisputed light welterweight champ.
Ramirez bounced back with three wins before dropping a decision to Arnold Barboza Jr. in November 2024.
The Haney vs. Ramirez fight will be contested at welterweight.
ESPN has Haney ranked as the No. 2 junior welterweight.
