Many doubt he will actually go on with his statement, but sources close to him say he is very serious about it
Devin Haney, super lightweight champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), announced that he will take some time away from the ring to rest and will only return when Ryan García has served his suspension for doping to make the rematch.
In a post on social media on X, formerly known as Twitter, Haney made his decision known after Top Rank won the bid with a $2.42 million offer for the defense of his 140-pound title with his mandatory Sandor Martín, since Matchroom Boxing did not participate.
“I’m going to take some time, spend some of my money, travel the world and I’ll come back in two years after Ryan (Garcia) is suspended and we can fight again,” he wrote on the platform.
This is what led to the announcement
Since the fight between Haney and García was announced, everything was very controversial. The Californian had erratic behavior in press conferences and on social media where he admitted that he smoked marijuana and drank alcohol. Everyone thought that King Ry’s mental health was bad, but everything was planned, and The Dream ended up being defeated after being knocked down three times in the fight.
In addition to drugs and drinking, Ryan Garcia tested positive for Ostarine the day before and after the fight against Devin Haney, according to a letter sent to the parties involved by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA). 19-Norandrosterone was also detected, but shortly afterwards it was confirmed that this substance was not present in the sample.
After hearing the news, Haney asked the New York State Athletic Commission to change the result of the fight to a victory and thus regain his undefeated record. In fact, his father Bill Haney told ESPN that he would not negotiate any duel until a decision was made in the King Ry doping case and the defeat is annulled.
