The highly anticipated fight between Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia is facing a potential cancellation. This is due to a controversy surrounding substance abuse accusations. The tension ignited at the New York press conference this week, where Haney accused Garcia of appearing “drunk as a skunk.“

Garcia responded by appearing on a live social media chat while smoking mari*uana, further fueling the flames of the controversy. The heated rivalry between the fighters is growing stronger with every passing minute. Now, this act has seemingly triggered a chain reaction.

Ryan Garcia might sabotage his upcoming bout

Ryan Garcia’s act seemingly confirmed Haney’s claims and further inflamed the situation. When asked about his training status, Garcia said, “Looking good, training good. I’m laughing because I’m high as f**k!“

Meanwhile, the WBC super lightweight champion has now taken a drastic step by refusing to participate in the scheduled Los Angeles leg of the press tour. This decision jeopardizes the entire fight, leaving fans worried about its future. He wrote, “I’m not going to that press conference tomorrow.. this dude Ryan wasting mine and everybody’s time foh.“

Now, the second presser will start at 9 PM GMT and that’s when the reality will be exposed to the audience. However, this is the same Haney who vowed to make Garcia quit again during their fight, and a few days earlier, even stated that Garcia only has a left hook.

Devin Haney gives a calculated response

The heated rivalry extends far beyond the upcoming fight, as Haney shared in a recent interview with ESPN. Despite their shared past, Haney is confident in his experience and maturity as a professional fighter. While acknowledging Garcia’s strengths, particularly his powerful left hook, Haney remains undeterred.
