Devin Haney's left hook knockdown by Ryan Garcia in April 2024 keeps coming back to haunt him. The WBC super lightweight champion laughs off fans' constant reminders of the incident on social media.
Haney won the fight at Brooklyn's Barclays Center after Garcia tested positive for a banned substance. But that hasn't stopped boxing fans from bringing up the knockdown whenever they get a chance.
The champ recently shared a video on social media with laughing emojis and the caption "fawk u.." It's clear he's trying to brush off the ongoing taunts about his performance.
This past Saturday, Hamzah Sheeraz's TKO victory over Edgar Berlanga at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens sparked another round of Haney-Garcia comparisons. Sheeraz knocked down Berlanga twice in the fourth round before finishing him in the fifth.
Nah, Devin Haney really had a flashback to the Ryan Garcia fight in New York after seeing this Sheeraz Left Hook over Berlanga.
That's what the account 112 Fighting Sports posted on X after the fight, poking fun at Haney once again.
Haney's next scheduled title defense is against Brian Norman Jr. on November 22, 2025, at ANB Arena in Riyadh. But former welterweight champ Shawn Porter thinks the fight might not happen.
On his YouTube channel The Porter Way Podcast, Porter said:
I can't imagine that the camp is comfortable enough to accept this fight. So, I'm going to make it clear that I don't think the fight will happen. I think there will be something within Haney's camp that will prevent this fight from happening.
It looks like Haney will have to keep dealing with reminders of the Garcia knockdown for a while. How he handles the pressure could make a big difference in his upcoming fights.
