The rivalry between Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney is far from over, and an unexpected new actor has joined the battle in the corner of ‘King Ryan’, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez
In 2024, Garcia and Haney finally settled their differences in the ring, but after The Flash’s victory, Garcia was suspended for a year due to a positive test for the PED substance ostarine in tests conducted prior to the fight against Haney.
With this sanction, Haney and Garcia have intensified their insults and mutual criticism on social networks, and in the most recent episode of this rivalry, Garcia received the support of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, as King Ryan revealed in an interview with Fight Hub
“Canelo told me it’s an easy job, that I’m going to beat Devin again,” the American revealed.
The response was not long in coming
Faced with these words, Haney did not remain silent and through his X account he pointed out that Garcia should ask Canelo to fight his commitments, since the Mexican is clean
“I had to ask Canelo now that he’s ‘clean’… Nelo can’t fight for him.”
Since his professional debut in 2016, Ryan Garcia has amassed a record of 25 wins (20 knockouts) and only one loss in 26 fights. He was the World Boxing Council lightweight champion in 2021.
Unfortunately, his history has been overshadowed by various mental health problems. He has suffered from depression and also anxiety in recent years.
Canelo is already weeks away from making official his first fight of 2025, which would take place once again at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and the expected clash with Terrance Crawford could be confirmed.
