“Honestly, I’m not too interested in it,” Haney said. “You know, during the build up we saw a lot of interesting things from him, we seen his character, we seen the guy cheat. We see the type of person that he is.
“I don’t see myself ever, ever getting back into the ring (with him). But I’m a fighter, I’m speaking right now with how I feel, but we never know what the future holds.”
Devin Haney on Ryan Garcia: “I’ve never been overmatched like that. I felt like something was up but I didn’t want to make excuses.”

“We learned about this situation not too long ago and it’s unfortunate Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans, and the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and breaking positive not once, but twice. “I’ve always been an advocate for clean fighting and this is an example of such. Ryan owes the fans an apology, and by his recent tweet, he still thinks this is a joke. We put our lives on the line to entertain people for a living. We don’t play boxing. This puts the fight in a completely different light. Despite the disadvantage, I still fought on my shield and got back up. “People die in this sport. This is not a joking matter.”
