Oscar De La Hoya teased manager Bill Haney on this week’s episode of Clapback Thursday, saying he ruined his son Devin Haney’s career by making him sue Ryan Garcia for battery following his loss last April in Brooklyn, New York.

Oscar: Fire your father, Devin!

De La Hoya says Devin needs to take control of his life and “fire” Bill. He believes he ruined what was once a promising career for the former two-division world champion by making his decision.

Oscar says the lawsuit and Devin’s decision to remain inactive for an entire year made his defeat much worse. Haney (31-0, 15 KO) could have recovered from that loss by now if he had gotten back in the ring instead of sitting and mourning his defeat.

According to De La Hoya, Haney must win his fight against Jose Ramirez on May 2 to earn a rematch against Ryan in October.

If true, there will be a lot of pressure on Devin when the former WBC and WBO 140-pound champion faces Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) in their co-fight on the undercard of Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando “Rolly” Romero in Times Square in New York City .

“I feel bad for Devin Haney because you rarely hear him talk because his dad does all the talking,” Oscar De La Hoya said during a conference this week. Klapak Thursday. “Sure, Devin had a bad loss this year, but it shouldn’t have been the end of his career. It could have been easily fixed.

“If it weren’t for his father and his manager, Bill, who single-handedly turned it into a situation more toxic than Chernobyl. I’ve never seen so much interest in a boxer’s career in my life. All Devin had to do after his loss to Ryan Garcia last April was say, ‘I’ve He beat me.” I couldn’t block his left hook, and then I went back to the gym.

“Instead of focusing on a comeback fight in 2024 and teaching his son how to block a left hook, Bill thought it was a better idea for Devin to sue Ryan for battery and emotional distress, sue Golden Boy, and sue the New York Athletic Commission. To expunge Devin’s loss from his record, to fight Madani in Orange Country State Fair, to take the rest of the year off and make as many enemies as possible. They cemented their legacy as the biggest crybabies in boxing history.

“Now, last week, Bill and Devin were in London, begging Turk for a payday because they had no other options. The only value Devin has in this sport is to fight Ryan Garcia again. So, Bill, being the pimp he is, By shoving his son back into the fighter who beat him so badly he had to sue him for battery I couldn’t do this guys.

“rematch [Garcia-Haney] It will happen next October, but on one condition. Haney’s family should drop their lawsuit against Ryan Garcia and Golden Boy. Of course, Hani’s family is willing to give her up because they have no case at all. I’ve never heard of a fighter suing another fighter for battery, and I’m sure we won’t see that again unless Devin sues his next opponent.

Rematch on the line: Haney vs. Ramirez

“Anyway, making a rematch is a very risky move because if Devin loses to Ryan again, we can all say goodbye to the Haney family. In order for Devin to get to that fight, he has to beat the tough and hungry Jose Ramirez in May. Watch out, Jose, if you hit him too hard, he might sue you next.

“Devin Haney, from one fighter to the next, you have to take control of your life and your career and get your father fired. Everyone in boxing stood up and saw what happened this year, the year you were supposed to shine. Now you are Bonkline. Everyone sees that he is the problem. He [Bill] You didn’t even stop the fight with Ryan Garcia when your jaw broke and you were on the canvas.

“I hope you can come to your senses and decide to save yourself and part ways with your current manager before it is too late. Unfortunately, that may already be the case,” De La Hoya said.
