Bill Haney to Oscar De La Hoya: “The lawsuit stands”

Bill Haney took to social media today to let promoter Oscar De La Hoya know that his son Devin Haney’s lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions and Ryan Garcia “still stands.”

Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) is suing Ryan for a drug violation from their April 20 fight, in which Garcia tested positive for a banned substance.

Haney, 25, has not said what his plans are for his career or if he will ever fight again. If that’s Devin’s focus, hoping to make it big with his lawsuit, he could be disappointed if it fails. By this time, the former two-division world champion Haney should have already indicated whether he will fight again.

Some fans feel that he has given up and is hanging up his gloves. He took a vicious pounding from Ryan (24-1, 20 KOs) and got hit a few times in a 12-round decision loss.

According to Garcia, the reunion is no longer an option. He wants nothing to do with Haney because of his lawsuit.

“Oscar De La (Hoya) all out. Gennadiy Golovkin sued you, and Ryan Garcia threatened to sue you. I don’t need to sit with you about anything,” Bill Haney said on social media, in response to Oscar De La Hoya saying on X that he would help the Haneys get the contract for the Ryan Garcia fight past to understand April.

“I see you tweet a lot, but you don’t talk. Maybe you are adjusting somewhere. The lawsuit stands,” Bill said.

If Haney does continue his career, he will have to try to bounce back from his loss at 147. That will be hard for him to do because it’s a tough division to compete in for fighters who lack power and a strong chin. Haney may be the equivalent of fish food at welterweight, and he won’t last long in this weight class.

Enough is enough. Every fighter who has worked with Golden Boy has always been paid exactly what they were owed and got all the documents they were entitled to. Period. Any suggestion to the contrary is simply false. If the Haneys are still having trouble finding their…
