Devin Haney denied attending court today for his battery lawsuit against Ryan Garcia from their April 20 fight.
Procedure reports
There was one report earlier today that Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) had attended court in the morning to file a 12-page lawsuit for “battery and bodily harm” against superstar Ryan. However, Haney, 26, denies going to court.
Devin is not saying whether he intends to drop his lawsuit or stick to the bitter end, hoping to make up for what happened that night seven months ago at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
It’s an evening former two-division world champion Haney would rather forget. He took a real bashing from Garcia, who dropped him three times and probably would have wiped him out if he had put his foot on the accelerator.
It seemed Ryan knew the beating he inflicted on the young phenomenon, wanting to prolong the suffering for as long as possible. He smiled as he beat the living daylights out of poor Haney in that fight. Towards the end of the fight, Garcia showed a face of compassion for Devin, looking at Bill and wanting him to throw in the towel to save his son.
Fans would obviously prefer Haney to focus on getting Garcia back, and proving he’s better than him in the ring rather than going to court. It is perceived as a weak move.
I didn’t go to court.. foh

“Big News” Tease.
Papa Haney, Bill, spoke “Great News” coming for Devin soon with his comeback fight. This will look bad if Haney’s next opponent is a ham & egger rather than a top-10 contender or world champion. If they trot a bit hopelessly like Devin’s opponent, Bill is going to look stupid here.
Haney has the popularity of getting a straight shot against one of the champions at 140 or 147 for his next fight. He doesn’t need to line up and earn the title shot like most contenders, but his self-confidence might not allow him to take that risk. Garcia may have boosted his self-belief with the three strikes he scored that night 237 days ago on April 20.
“While they talk, we work. While they doubt, we deliver. Self-made. Self-paid. We answer to no one. Big news coming soon,” said Bill Haney on X, talking about Devin.
