Devin Haney Sues Ryan Garcia for Battery and Fraud Over April Fight

Haney alleges Garcia's doping and weight violations caused physical and reputational harm, seeks damages.

Devin Haney filed a lawsuit against Ryan Garcia on September 27, 2024, alleging battery, fraud, and breach of contract related to their April 20 fight.
Garcia initially won the fight by majority decision but the result was later overturned to a no-contest after he tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug ostarine.
Haney claims he would not have agreed to the fight if he had known about Garcia's doping, asserting that Garcia's actions caused him physical injury and reputational damage.
The lawsuit also names Golden Boy Promotions, alleging breach of contract and seeking a full accounting of the event's profits.
Haney's attorney states that Garcia received millions of dollars unfairly and demands punitive damages for the ordeal.
