Devin Haney set for ring return in March

Devin Haney hasn't fought since facing Ryan Garcia in April 2024

The next fight of Devin Haney has been set for March 25. Bay Area’s former two-division boxing world champion steps through the ropes for the first time since facing Ryan Garcia.

Haney and Garcia met last April in Brooklyn, where the latter took a decision victory on the night, dropping his opponent three times over the course of the fight. Las Vegas-based former undisputed lightweight champion Haney didn’t lose his WBC 140-pound belt, as Garcia missed weight and was ineligible to take the title.

In June, the result was overturned to a no-contest due to a failed drug test by the Victorville, California native, Garcia. The same month, the San Francisco native Haney was declared “Champion in Recess.”

Devin Haney (31-0, 15 KOs, 1 NC) posted on X, “March… I’m back.” Additionally, Boxing News 24 reported that BLK Prime announced, in what appears to be a now-deleted post, that the fight was to be held on March 25. The opponent, location, and venue are yet to be determined.

The originally referenced post on X, which suggested that former multi-division champion Adrien Broner from Cincinnati, Ohio was “likely” to be Haney’s next rival, could not be independently verified and should not have been cited.

  1. I’m take A B just because DH camp lame for trying to or allegedly pressing charges n lawsuits cause dude looked bad in da rings Garcia camp didn’t need to dope cause DH fight plan was trash look how he had stands n hands he came in dat not ready so charges n lawsuits DH yo camp ain’t ready for no Tank bro Broner got u.

  2. If this fight is actually true. Adrian Broner needs to train like never before. This more likely would be his last opportunity. Devin is still a slick,quick and talented boxer. Honestly, I see Devin returning to the ring very focused and hungry.
