Devin Haney’s father, Invoice Haney, was in a rage right now, indignant at Todd Grisham, the Los Angeles press convention monitor, for failing to painting Dev in a good gentle for his battle in opposition to Jose Ramirez on Could 2nd at Instances Sq. in New York Metropolis.
Grisham’s Query
Todd Grisham requested the previous WBC and WBO gentle welterweight champion Ramirez (29-2, 18 KOs) if he would goal Haney’s chin after the best way he was dropped a number of instances by Ryan Garcia in his earlier battle on April twentieth.
The query from Grisham was logical to ask to get some entertaining dialogue from Ramirez, who was overly well mannered all through. Invoice thought that line of questioning by Grisham was not designed to make Devin look good.
He wished Grisham to say that Haney was the youngest undisputed champion at light-weight, and that he’s ranked #9 on Ring Journal’s up to date pound-for-pound record. In different phrases, Invoice wished Grisham to slather the compliments on Haney to make him appear heroic and a younger famous person.
That’s not Grisham’s fashion. He’s the sort who likes to poke the bear to stir stuff up, and he had Ramirez wasn’t saying something fascinating. So, he was attempting to pry some trash discuss out of him.
“You see within the promotion that they all the time wish to separate the black father and the fighter,” stated Invoice Haney to Combat Hub TV, ranting about being separated from his son, Devin Haney, throughout right now’s press convention in Los Angeles.
“What you noticed was a bull s*** press convention that [monitor] Todd Grisham was one-sided, and he didn’t describe Devin the best way he was supposed to explain [portray] him because the youngest undisputed champion and the legacy. #9 on the pound-for-pound record and he has a granite chin.
“Have you ever seen anybody stand up from a Ryan Garcia left hook after 3 times off the canvas? That piece of s***, Todd Grisham, needed to ask about his chin. He needed to query his chin. He was the whole lot fallacious on the press convention. What they’re attempting to do is to not get the voice that’s actually going to inform the true in his nook [i.e., Bill Haney being on stage with Devin].
“They wish to separate it and attempt to destroy the model and it’s not going to work. On Could 2nd, Devin goes to place belt to a** to Jose Ramirez, and I assure you that,” stated Invoice.
