Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia Eye Rematch After Legal Dispute Paused

The fighters plan tune-up bouts in May, with a potential rematch set for late 2025 under Saudi sponsorship.

Devin Haney has paused his lawsuit against Ryan Garcia, which alleged battery, fraud, and breach of contract, to explore a settlement and focus on a potential rematch.
Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney are expected to face separate opponents in May 2025, with a rematch tentatively scheduled for later in the year under Riyadh Season's sponsorship.
The rematch depends on both fighters securing victories in their respective May bouts, which will reportedly take place in the United States.
Saudi Arabia's Turki Alalshikh, a key figure in boxing promotions, is facilitating the rematch and has signed Garcia to a two-fight deal, with details about his May opponent yet to be disclosed.
The controversy surrounding Garcia's overturned 2024 victory due to a positive PED test continues to draw criticism from the boxing community, highlighting concerns about the lawsuit's impact on the sport.
