Recently, information appeared about Ryan failing a doping test before his fight with Devin
WBC junior welterweight belt holder Devin Haney stated that he is no longer interested in a rematch with Ryan Garcia after information appeared about the latter’s failed doping test.
“To be honest, I’m not too interested in this. We’ve seen this guy cheat, we’ve seen who he is. I don’t think I’ll ever get back into the ring [с ним]but we never know for sure…”
“Boxing is just a sport. He put my life at risk. So now for me it’s more serious than boxing. Now I want to move this somewhere else. He could have done very dangerous things to me that evening.”
Let’s remember that ostarine was found in Ryan’s blood. This drug is used to improve endurance performance.
In the next 10 days, sample “B” will be opened. Garcia’s team is trying to understand how ostarine got into the boxer’s body. Ryan himself denied doping.
Let us remind you that the Haney-Garcia fight took place in Brooklyn, at the Barclays Center. Devin was knocked down three times during the fight. According to the judges’ notes, Ryan triumphed with scores of 114:100 and 115:109. Another judge recorded a draw (112:112).
Garcia, despite the victory, did not take the championship belt from Haney, as he exceeded the agreed weight category limit. According to WBC head Mauricio Sulaiman, the belt does not become vacant, but remains with Devin. After the defeat, Haney himself immediately hinted at revenge.
