Devin Haney reportedly dropped his lawsuit against Ryan Garcia, and Kingery agreed to use VADA as a drug testing agency for the rematch. As such, the second battle between the two is now continuing. However, it has not yet been made official.
The lawsuit was dropped
Journalist Cynthia Conti broke the news, and Haney posted his reaction, saying that Ryan was “no duck” because he agreed to his terms. The two fighters met with Turki Al-Sheikh last Saturday, supposedly to discuss the rematch.
Conte says a condition for Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) to drop the lawsuit was for Garcia (24-1, 20 KOs) to agree to VADA, which he has now done. There is no information on whether this battle will be fought on a large scale, when it will happen, or where. Hani said in an interview last Saturday that his next fight will be at 143 or 144.
Haney, 26, and his father, Bill, really want this fight. They need this match to regain their credibility after Ryan's complete defeat of the previously undefeated two-division world champion on April 20.
During the fight, many people thought that Ryan had gone crazy due to his strange behavior. He acted as if he was ready to be taken to him Bellevue Mental HospitalAnd he completely fooled everyone by doing this. Ryan's acting was perfect.
When he entered the ring, he immediately shocked Haney with a left hook in the first round and beat him like a drum. In the last four rounds of the fight, it seemed as if Ryan intentionally allowed Haney to survive so he could continue to beat him senseless. It was hard to watch.
Last April, he upset Ryan Haney by defeating him by majority decision in 12 rounds at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Haney fell three times in combat, once on the seventh, tenth and eleventh. The scores were 114-110, 115-109.
Garcia accepts the terms
A very reliable source told me that Devin Haney has officially dropped his lawsuit against Ryan Garcia if he agrees to do VADA. Garcia has agreed to do VADA and the rematch will begin! #boxing
