Recent headlines surrounding Devin Haney donning a suit to appear in court have generated widespread curiosity and amusement online, sparking interest and sparking online gossip about an ongoing legal battle he and fellow boxer Ryan Garcia are engaging in that goes well beyond boxing’s physicality. Haney took legal steps against Garcia following an eventful fight which caused doubt in regard to its outcome and how it may impact on both career and reputation – an unusual step at 26 years old for an otherwise young boxer like himself.
Haney filed this lawsuit against Garcia alleging battery, fraud and breach of contract following their fight, where Garcia initially won but after allegations of prohibited substance use emerged led to suspension and no-contest decision for matchup. For Haney who boasts an impressive 31-0 record these repercussions were far reaching and long lasting.
However, contrary to circulating reports, Haney revealed through social media that he did not, in fact, make a court appearance related to the lawsuit. His succinct message aimed to set the record straight amidst the growing speculation. This revelation might bring some solace to Garcia’s supporters but leaves many questions unanswered regarding the future of the lawsuit and the possibility of a rematch.
