The war of insults between Ryan Garcia and Bill Haney continues. The Victorville native has now shared a ‘scary’ Halloween message for Devin Haney’s father on social media, which left fans laughing uncontrollably. Not that long ago, ‘King Ry’ expressed interest in a rematch with ‘The Dream’ following their controversial fight back in April.

Haney Sr. immediately issued an ultimatum to Garcia, demanding he enroll with VADA in 48 hours if he wants the rematch. Garcia, believing he is the A-Side, shrugged Haney Sr.’s demands, which started a war of allegations and insults between the duo. Not to forget, Haney even sued Garcia in connection to their April fight. Regardless, now, the question is, what is Garcia’s ‘scary’ message?

Ryan Garcia’s scary message: Spooks, hooks, and rematch hopes!

Happy Punch hopped on X earlier today, sharing Garcia’s clip with their followers with the caption reading, “Ryan Garcia just sent a scary Halloween message to Devin Haney’s dad Bill .” Meanwhile, the clip showed the Victorville native out on the street, as he opened the video, stating, “Hey Bill Haney, Happy Halloween. Love you so much.”

However, he quickly shifts gears, revealing, “I got something really scary,” as he adopts a boxing stance and unleashes a flurry of lightning-fast left hooks. He then mimics the moment he dropped Haney during their fight in April. The video cuts to footage of the knockdown, with Garcia posing triumphantly over the fallen Haney.

In their match, Garcia had actually knocked Haney down three times before the result was changed to a no-contest due to the discovery of ostarine in Garcia’s system. This led to a one-year ban from the sport and a hefty fine of $1.2 million. Both fighters have expressed interest in a rematch, but the timing remains uncertain.

What is clear, however, is that most fans embraced Garcia’s ‘scary’ message, sharing their thoughts in the comments with enthusiasm.

Did Devin Haney just flinch?

With all the drama that the fight and the potential fight have created over the past several months, Garcia’s antics online have become an expected ritual. Over time, it also seems to have grown on people—like this user, who was forced to acknowledge Garcia’s humor. “I gotta admit that this s**t did make me laugh 😂,” the user commented. No kidding. Social media has been Garcia’s biggest weapon and the reason behind his immense popularity. 

Another user felt Garcia might be erratic but claimed the Haneys deserved it. “He’s gone a little crazy but Bill and Devin deserve to be clowned,” wrote the user. Haney’s lawsuit against Garcia has elevated this sentiment among fans.

The next user decided to take a dig at Devin Haney. “I bet Devin flinched watching this 😂😂😂😂😂,” the user wrote sarcastically. If he did, a response from Bill Haney might be on the way.

While others were poking fun at Devin, this user criticized Garcia’s failed doping tests. “We will never normalize cheating. No PEDS in sports,” the user wrote. Notably, ‘The Flash’ Garcia has denied taking PEDs on purpose, suggesting he may have ingested them through supplements. 

At this point, the feud between Ryan Garcia and the Haneys has become a natural phenomenon. At least, their shenanigans are entertaining, and fans seem to be loving every little bit of it. Were you scared by Garcia’s message?
