Matchroom Boxing's head promoter Eddie Hearn isn't sure if WBC bantamweight champion Devin Haney will rematch Ryan Garcia.

Hearn fears that Garcia will be unable to return to the ring after his lengthy suspension.

"We don't know if either of them will ever fight again. It's not a fact that Ryan won't settle anything in the next nine to 10 months, which would mean he won't fight again. If I was on Ryan's team, I'd be worried about that. It's not going to be like he's going to be told, 'OK, Ryan. Take nine months off and start training camp." Can you imagine Ryan Garcia resting for nine months with no camp?" - Hearn said.

Recall that Garcia defeated Haney by majority decision on the judges' scorecards in April. But then it turned out that before this fight he took a positive test for doping, as a result of which he received a disqualification for a year.
