Ryan Garcia is planning to make his “sweet science” return against Devin Haney.

As a result, “The Flash” has no time for last-minute callouts from WBA light welterweight champion Rolly Romero, who told his social media followers Ryan is “allergic to punchers” after “partying for the last seven months.”

“I’m sorry Rollies you and your team work way too slow and you were way too indecisive — I didn’t know if you wanted to box or vacation,” Gracia wrote on Twitter. “Devin Haney and I are in negotiations, respect that. I’m not entertaining anything. Thanks.”

Haney appears to be on board.

“Ryan Garcia has called me out, and I’ve called him out for years,” Haney told DAZN. “We’re in negotiations and it could be next. I wanna make the biggest fights happen and I think it’s time me and Ryan get it on. More than likely, it’s next.”

Haney is hoping to secure the fight for Saudi Arabia.

Garcia, 25, returned to the win column with an eighth-round knockout victory over Oscar Duarte earlier this month in Houston. As for Haney, also 25, he kept his undefeated record intact by outpointing Regis Prograis a few weeks back in San Francisco.
