Devin Haney’s father, Bill, took to social media today to mock Ryan Garcia’s choice of hair products. Bill questioned why Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) was using a particular cream to style his hair in a video. This has raised concerns among fans about Bill’s true intentions for his son’s fight against Ryan.
Is Bill deliberately undermining the promotion of Devin’s fight with Ryan through his strange social media posts? Perhaps it would be wise for Devin to enlist the help of Evins Tobler, Regis Prograis’ strength coach, to handle the marketing of the fight instead of Bill. Leaving Bill behind and allowing Tobler to take charge might be the better option.
Shea Butter Controversy?
It’s unclear why Bill is fixated on Ryan’s use of shea butter for his hair instead of focusing on helping his son, WBC light welterweight champion Devin (31-0, 15 KOs), promote his upcoming fight against Kingry on April 20th on DAZN. It’s puzzling why Bill is paying so much attention to Ryan’s hair care choices. Has he never heard of shea butter for hair? Where has he been all this time?
“We knew something was off during the last face-off. When Ryan showed up, I sensed trouble. We won’t be caught off guard next time,” commented Bill Haney on X, referring to Ryan’s hair product.
Misplaced Focus
Bill hasn’t shown much interest in discussing Devin’s fight with Ryan ever since the fight was confirmed. Yesterday, he even posted about Gervonta Davis on social media. It’s strange that Bill is so preoccupied with Ryan’s hair. Is this a deliberate tactic to distract from the fight, a sign of misplaced priorities, or simply a father being a father? Whatever the reason, it’s an unusual approach to promoting one of the biggest boxing events of the year.
Haney’s Fight Promotion Suffers
At this rate, Devin’s fight is at risk of performing poorly on pay-per-view, and it may negatively impact his future negotiations for subsequent fights. Ryan and his team are unable to effectively promote the fight without Bill’s assistance, as Devin is unable to hold up his end. They rely on Bill to speak on Devin’s behalf, but that becomes impossible when he is focusing on unrelated matters.
With the Haney vs. Garcia fight just two months away, Bill’s decision to discuss his opponent’s hair and even bring up Gervonta Davis seems counterproductive. Fans are left wondering if Bill is already looking past Ryan and towards Devin’s next potential opponent.
