Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney exchanged vicious trash talk on social media today, saying they look different now that they\u2019re getting help. It\u2019s unclear which of them unleashed the dogs of war first with the insults. Whoever it was, they started a firestorm.<\/p>\n
Ryan Promises a Slap on Sight<\/p>\n
Ryan (24-2, 20 KOs), who is up 1-0 on the win column from the trouncing he did of Devin last year, said he\u2019s going to \u201cslap\u201d him when he sees him.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen if they\u2019re going to fight in 2026, because Kingry has got a full plate already, challenging WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on February 21, 2026.<\/p>\n
Why Turki Favors Benn Over Devin<\/p>\n
If Ryan wins that fight, he\u2019ll be facing WBC mandatory Conor Benn on May 5, 2026, in Las Vegas. Promoter Eddie Hearn let the cat out of the bag today, saying that Turki Alalshikh says he wants to put the Garcia-Benn fight on Cinco de Mayo weekend on May 5th. Interestingly, Turki intends to do that fight rather than the rematch between Devin and Ryan.<\/p>\n
What may have caused Alalshikh to lose interest in the Garcia-Haney 2 rematch is Devin\u2019s back-to-back boring performances against Brian Norman Jr. and Jose Ramirez in 2025. Turki looked furious, sitting in the front row in both of those fights, watching Haney run and hold.<\/p>\n
Haney Drops the \ud83d\udc89 Accusation<\/p>\n
Devin Haney: \u201cRyan looks way better now they he back on that \ud83d\udc89 feel bad for Barrios! He dropped out of drug testing in May,\u201d said Devin Haney on X<\/a>, trashing Ryan Garcia.<\/p>\n Ryan Garcia: \u201cWhen I see you, ima slap the s*** out of you, and you won\u2019t do anything about it,\u201d said Ryan Garcia in response<\/a> to Haney\u2019s comment. \u201cThere\u2019s no more talking about it, it\u2019s all smoke. If he thinks I cheated, then run it back should be easy then right.<\/p>\n Haney: \u201cRemember I hurt u too. I\u2019m still in drug testing, you\u2019re the one that dropped out of the program. Why is that? Explain.\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan: \u201cDamn, a whistleblower said Devin Haney on the roids wtf \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d he did get power out of nowhere right. That\u2019s crazy. Someone lying on their own blood but just promise me one thing, Devin. And put it on your daughter, you won\u2019t sue me when I slap you \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffb.\u00a0And if I do what happens then nada.<\/p>\n Haney: \u201cI bet you won\u2019t. On my daughter, you won\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n Ryan: \u201cHe definitely taught Devin to get right and cheat without no one noticing, made 135 easy, those Conte diuretics go crazy,\u201d said Garcia on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ken Woods has been a senior writer at Boxing News 24 since 2013, covering the sport from every angle.
