Devin Haney is on his vengeance arc after Ryan Garcia tested positive for ostarine during their fight in April. While his loss was converted to a no contest, some sources recently suggested ‘The Dream’ now wants all the footage of his fight against Garcia to be removed from YouTube. However, Haney has now chimed in on these rumors.

Previously, Haney even sued Ryan Garcia for damaging his image by defeating him while on banned substances, resulting in a low purse bid for his WBC mandatory fight against Sandor Martin. Haney has since been stripped of the title for not facing his mandatory. Regardless, after these new allegations surfaced, ‘The Dream’ was quick to clear his name.

Yesterday, a user turned to X, asking Haney about the recent allegations that he requested DAZN to remove the Ryan Garcia fight clips from YouTube. When DAZN refused, Haney allegedly approached YouTube directly. Seeing this, Haney quickly responded to the fan writing, “U don’t really believe some s**t like this right”.

Interestingly, it was Ryan Garcia who initially accused Haney of trying to persuade DAZN to remove the fight clips. He wrote in an Instagram post, “Wow thank you DAZN for not allowing that to happen”. And even here, Haney was present and ready to get his name cleared. Haney wrote, “This is cap..”

Many speculate if true, Haney could be trying to erase every evidence of the fight from the internet to get his loss erased and clean his image after the pummeling he received from Garcia. However, it’s worth mentioning that there is nothing linking Haney to the removal request as of now, with these remaining mere allegations. Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia seems to have given his final verdict on a Devin Haney rematch.

After the majority decision win for Ryan Garcia was turned into a no-contest, Devin Haney sued Garcia for damaging his image by cheating. Haney also added that the entire ordeal had affected him in more ways than financial, claiming it also had a mental effect on him. So, Ryan Garcia took it upon himself to respond to these claims.

In a post on X from a few days ago, the Victorville native wrote, “I gave him [Haney] brain damage, if there is a rematch mark my words you’d actually die in the ring. Not saying I want that to happen. But like the Russian in Rocky 4 said ‘If he dies, he dies’.” It’s also worth mentioning that Garcia had claimed he would rather face Gervonta Davis in a rematch than Devin Haney.
