Asked during an interview if he still intended to sue Haney over comments made after their April 2024 fight, Garcia said he would be.

“Yeah, for sure. I am,” said Ryan to Fight Hub TV.

Ryan has repeatedly maintained that Devin falsely portrayed him following the failed drug tests that overturned Ryan’s victory into a no contest. He has insisted the positive tests involved trace contamination rather than intentional performance-enhancing drug use, while Haney has continued to criticize him publicly.

The threat of a lawsuit keeps one of boxing’s most heated rivalries alive long after the opening bell rang in Brooklyn. Since their fight, the two have traded insults across interviews and social media, with Ryan also threatening legal action over what he considers defamatory remarks.

Both men have different priorities inside the ring for now. Ryan is preparing for his mandatory defense against Conor Benn in Las Vegas, while Haney continues to pursue another major fight. Garcia’s latest comments make it clear he has no intention of letting his dispute with Haney fade quietly. If he follows through with the lawsuit, their rivalry will move beyond boxing and into the legal system while both continue pursuing championship opportunities.
