The boxing world is now abuzz with the news of Ryan Garcia‘s suspension. It follows his reported failure to clear the drug tests for the Devin Haney fight. Though initially a majority decision win for the Californian, it will now be treated as a ‘no-contest’. The verdict includes punitive damages as well. Through an X/Twitter post, Garcia had already suggested moving ahead with retirement. Amidst the latest developments surrounding the doping scandal, a snippet of information is emerging. There’s a good chance it might raise a few eyebrows.

An overview of boxing record-keeper BoxRec‘s portal reveals that not only Ryan Garcia but Devin Haney have also been placed under indefinite suspension by the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC). This news might definitely leave a few scratching their heads. After all, Ryan Garcia’s suspension is understandable. But why Devin Haney? The former lightweight undisputed champion has also pointed to staying out of the ring for some time. There are hints that both boxers might circle back for a rematch once ‘KingRy’ has served the suspension. Let’s check out the reasons behind ‘The Dream’s shocking status.
