Devin Haney’s doesn’t appear to have come to terms in regard to how his April 20th fight in New York transpired. TMZ Sports has recently confirmed that Devin is now suing Ryan in an attempt to seek closure. Haney who appeared to lose the high profile bout, prior to the adverse findings, filed the lawsuit against Garcia in New York last Friday. Devin has alleged that Garcia committed battery and fraud in the leadup too, and during their April 20 event at Barclays Center.
Garcia initially was ruled to have won the fight after knocking down Haney multiple times … but the outcome was later ruled a no-contest after NYSAC officials found that Garcia had Ostarine in his system.
Haney said if he had known Garcia had ingested a performance-enhancing drug prior to stepping into the ring, he definitely wouldn’t have agreed to the fight. Therefore, Devin states that he never consented to being on the wrong end of Garcia’s punches under such circumstances.
Haney also said, among other things, that by ingesting the banned substance despite agreeing to fight under the guise that he would test clean, Garcia made misrepresentations that would have caused Haney to withdraw from the match as well.
In addition to Garcia, Haney is also suing Golden Boy Promotions for a breach of contract.
In his suit, Haney is suing for damages, claiming the entire ordeal caused him both physical injuries and damaged reputation which will amount to millions of dollars, along with emotional and mental distress.
We’ve reached out to Garcia’s attorney for comment, without any successful responses so far.
