Devin Haney’s father, Invoice Haney, was in a rage as we speak, indignant at Todd Grisham, the Los Angeles press convention monitor, for failing to painting Dev in a positive mild for his battle towards Jose Ramirez on Might 2nd at Instances Sq. in New York Metropolis.
Grisham’s Query
Todd Grisham requested the previous WBC and WBO mild 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 needed 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 checklist. In different phrases, Invoice needed Grisham to slather the compliments on Haney to make him appear heroic and a younger celebrity.
That’s not Grisham’s type. He’s the kind who likes to poke the bear to stir stuff up, and he had Ramirez wasn’t saying something attention-grabbing. So, he was making an attempt to pry some trash speak out of him.
“You see in the promotion that they always want to separate the black father and the fighter,” mentioned Invoice Haney to Struggle Hub TV, ranting about being separated from his son, Devin Haney, throughout as we speak’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 checklist and he has a granite chin.
“Have you ever seen anybody rise 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 every thing improper on the press convention. What they’re making an attempt to do is to not get the voice that’s actually going to inform the actual in his nook [i.e., Bill Haney being on stage with Devin].
“They want to separate it and try and destroy the brand and it’s not going to work. On May 2nd, Devin is going to put belt to a** to Jose Ramirez, and I guarantee you that,” mentioned Invoice.
