Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney boxing dispute

Overview

The professional boxing rivalry between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney remains unresolved following the overturning of Garcia’s April 2024 majority decision victory to a no-contest due to positive Ostarine tests. Garcia has refused a rematch until Haney’s camp addresses what he claims was “something going on” regarding the testing process, asserting his own tests were clean.

As the dispute persists, the welterweight division has seen increased tension involving other fighters. WBA regular welterweight champion Jack Catterall publicly labeled Garcia a “drug cheat” and advocated for a matchup against Haney. Meanwhile, the WBO title picture remains uncertain after mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis declined a purse-bid share for a fight with Haney. Promoter Eddie Hearn has also weighed in on potential opponents for Haney, expressing skepticism regarding IBF champion Liam Paro’s ability to defeat him.
