Overview

• Court records show the boxer filed the civil suit in Los Angeles on Aug. 20, roughly two months after Sayed obtained a temporary domestic violence restraining order.
• Haney alleges Sayed sought more money by threatening "reputational ruin" and "loss of rights to visit his daughter," and he is also suing for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
• His attorneys deny the abuse claims, calling them fabricated, and his representative says he will not be extorted.
• Sayed’s filing alleges multiple incidents of abuse over the past year and a half, including a December 2024 episode when she says he pushed her while nine months pregnant.
• Sayed’s attorney says she seeks only legally required child support and argues that truth is a defense to defamation; the former couple share a daughter born in January 2025.
