In a strong statement, professional boxer Devin Haney has broken his silence on the recent allegations of doping against his opponent, Ryan Garcia, in their highly anticipated bout.

Haney's response leaves no room for ambiguity as he addresses the gravity of the situation head-on. "We learned about this situation not too long ago and it's unfortunate Ryan cheated and disrespected both the fans and the sport of boxing by fighting dirty and breaking positive not once, but twice," Haney stated, pulling no punches in his condemnation of Garcia's alleged actions.

The sentiment of disappointment and betrayal is evident in Haney's words as he emphasizes his longstanding commitment to clean fighting.

Haney believes Ryan owes the fans an apology

Haney's call for accountability is shown by his assertion that Garcia owes the fans an apology, a sentiment echoed by many within the boxing community who feel let down by the specter of doping tarnishing the sport. "Ryan owes the fans an apology, and by his recent tweet he still thinks this is a joke," Haney remarked, highlighting Garcia's perceived lack of contrition in the face of serious allegations.

Moreover, Haney underscores the inherent dangers of boxing, emphasizing the life-threatening risks that fighters undertake every time they step into the ring. "We put our lives on the line to entertain people for a living. You don't play boxing," Haney emphasized, driving home the gravity of the situation and the need for accountability in the sport.
